skype not valid?

When I try to install the current skype it tells me that the downloaded skype is not valid and can not be installed.

It seems to download all correctly however, tried few times, evry time the same.

file name for the Skype installer doesn't match

Copying my post from https://portableapps.com/news/2013-01-10--skype-portable-6.0.0.129-released

----------

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
