SKYPE DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 DESKTOP INSTALL
You need to install 8.x before this date.ĭownloaded latest EXE setup and took a look what setup this is now and found out they changed from great WiX Toolset to suxxx InnoSetup sh**. The current deadline for 7.x is 1 th November 2018. A solution is required as there was news around from a Skype employee named Babs that stated the old Skype Classic 7.x will still work for now, but may break in near future. Being surprised in weeks or months by a no longer working Skype client is not really an option. We need to make sure the meetings can take place. They pointed to other solutions like Skype for Business and noted that this team may know where the required MSI is, but they cannot help if it comes to end user Skype. The learning curve that customers cannot ignored seems not very strong if we keep the past mobile client fiasco in mind.Ĭontacted Skype support and they confirmed that MSI setup is not available and they named it no longer supported. It is not clear if these missing features also include the MSI setup. Originally when Skype 8.0 was released it was planed to discontinue the Skype 7 ("Skype Classic") support per 1 th September 2018, but they extended the deadline to 1 th November 2018, until some customer requested features are added back to 8.x. This means enterprise deployment is made impossible as EXE setups cannot deployed via Active Directory GPO deployment. The latest 8.x versions (8.28.0.41) seem no longer available as official MSI package. The last available version was Skype 7.41.101.
A few days ago I found out that the previouly hidden link used to download Skype as MSI setup is broken.
