Skype ≈ v7.40.0.103 sPortable

[b] Mr. John T. Haller [/b]

2017.09.15 Skype has forced us to update again, and begun blocking prior versions of skype once more.
This forced me to give up my ghost-copy of skype i was installing from/to a RAM drive and running daily.

The invasiveness of microsoft products is Legendary, and im sure theres a webster dictionary definition some where with a pic Bill-Gates waving a d***o around.

That said, today i turned to the PortaleApps site, as i tend to trust everything you and other developers here put together. I know you have a dream of maintaining one os, without restarts or reinstalls, for long hauls of uptime, and because of that i trust in portableapps.com

However today i tried out
https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/sportable
v7.40.0.103 Date updated: 2017-09-12

installed to Z:\COMs\SkypeP_7.40.0.103 watched sPortable do the downloading,
And as soon as i hit -enter- after typing in my login name,
The program crashes (Not Responding) error till killed with ProcessExplorer.
~~~It does not make it to 'loading the password entry' screen at all.~~~

Oh, Note i do not use any PAF client or portable application client browser I've a plethora of application browsers and managers running already, {Steam, GoG, AHK, Logitech and LCore, & more probably) so i try to keep away from adding new ones. I used my portableapps files as separate processes. And i would prefer to continue that way.

My Operating System: Win7Ult_x64 SP1 Eng
My install path is Z:\COMs\SkypeP_7.40.0.103 ( sPortable.exe is found therein )
Z: is a RAM drive of 10GB.

I've tried various compatibility modes and running as administrator, none of which made any difference. : {

My HOSTS file blocks most of skype ad sites (and many others),
but did has never in the past interfered with download.skype.com or Official-Skype's operation.
Its been an effort to keep ads out of skype, and control what i allow through my connection.

I would appreciate any help you can provide in getting your portableapps version of skype opperational on my pc.
Thank you.
