After downloading the install package for Skype the tool reports that the install package is invalid and thereby can not be installed...

I suspect the problem is that the SkypePortable_6.0.0.129_online.paf.exe installer downloads SkypeSetupFull.exe but is set to install SkypeSetupFull_6.0.0.129.exe.

The difference in filename is probably causing the problem?

I can confirm renaming SkypeSetupFull.exe to SkypeSetupFull_6.0.0.129.exe does allow SkypePortable to be installed/updated (when downloaded and put in the same folder as SkypePortable_6.0.0.129_online.paf.exe)

It shouldn't be to long before this is fixed, but for anyone who wants to try downloading and re-naming SkypeSetupFull.exe, the direct link to download is
