Re: Skype Install Issue

Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata%, press Enter or OK button. The Windows File Explorer will popup. Can you find there a folder with the name Skype?

Re: Skype Install Issue

Hi, I have the same problem that many others here have - when I try to install Skype, it halts and a message containing "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone." I am already running the Administrator mode, and changing the access levels in the Security tab of C:\ did nothing at all. Also, seizing ownership of the forder is impossible, since it requires some access to change owners, which I do not have. Really confused :sad:
