SkypePortable source files?

I'd like to modify skypeportable launcher to implement support for alternate logon (two skype instances active at the same time on two different skype accounts), but can't find the launcher sources in the package.
Are the sources available somewhere?

Cheers
Luigi

No

The launcher is closed source also.

Can't

The /secondary command line switch is not compatible with the /removable command line switch as of a few versions ago (8 mos or so). So, it's sadly no longer supported.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Skype Portable startet two times using different skype accounts

Hello everybody,

I would like to start two instances of SkypePortable in order to keep track of my private and my business accounts at the same time.
Do you think it worth trying to use the following workaround:
1.) Create second Folder SkypePortableII (complete copy, if neccessary on a different drive)
2.) Start first SkypePortable with SkypeNamePrivate as current Windows User
3.) Start second SkypePortableII via "RunAs" and different Windows User and SkypeNameBusiness (on the same local machine)
I am afraid there might be some mess-up in registry entries (if any) with the two instances running parallel.
Using Skype portable 5.1.0.104 on several WinXP Prof. machines.

Thanks in advance for thinking about it.
Peter

P.S.
excellent job you are doing here, John, Thanks a million!
