Sarah already decided that SFB is on topic for the SkypeEnglish list, as I recall. I'm guilty of not sending email updates out reliably these days though lol. I wonder if there's a better approach, li

Lol... Kevin, not sure what you're referring to there, but I admit I'm most curious. I think you were joking about something, at least by the assumption that the trailing "j" was a shorthand smilie. M

I have not scripted the Windows 10 Skype. I understand that the Windows Desktop Skype will be supported for quite a while, partly because it is what Windows 7 users must run; and Windows 7 is supporte

For anyone with a 32-bit Windows system for whom my updated Skype script installer could not find JAWS: Grab today's update from http://www.dlee.org/skype/ and try again. I upgraded the installer buil

If you mean it is corrupted, try again in case the download failed. If you mean an antivirus program considered it a problem, it may have just been telling you it is not a recognized or popular file.

If you mean Skype Desktop version 7.40, I'm running it without problems. If you mean he new Skype for Windows 10, I did not script that; but you can still use Skype Desktop, which I did script. What p

My apologies, I somehow missed part of your message when I sent that reply. As I said, I have not scripted that one. I need to hear if anyone has solid evidence of when Microsoft plans to ditch Skype

I thought 2020 because that's end of life for Windows 7 and Skype for Windows 10 initially didn't run there I think. But now, it does run on Windows 7; so I no longer see a clear reason Microsoft has

Skype for Windows 10 will now also run on Windows 7. This surprised me and concerns me a bit since I thought Skype Desktop would continue to work until Windows 7 support ends. Now I'm not sure what th

You'll get a Notepad instance opened after the install failures. It will contain a log of what happened. Paste it here so I can analyze it and see what went wrong on your machine.

What revision is the installer you're using? It should say the revision number when first opening. The current revision is 983. The previous revision had problems finding JAWS on 32-bit Windows system

I understand that the Skype that launches on Windows startup will be the last one you ran yourself; so try running Desktop Skype and then rebooting once to see if this claim still holds true.

I have done some research on Skype versions currently or formerly available for Windows, prompted by a fair amount of confusion over this. I welcome additions to the following information, but I prese

Summary of the somewhat technical info I'm about to present: The reason GW Connect and other such efforts are failing is that Microsoft has discontinued support of the interfaces they require, and wit

How to find the Download File button: 1. Go to the conversation containing the file. 2. Go to the message list and to the entry within it that is the file. Usually this is the last item in the list wh

Last Saturday, I sent a message to this list enumerating the Skype versions written for Windows of which I am aware. Today, I'm sending another message about all these Skypes, to announce my scripting

I believe you mean Skype UWP, UWP being an acronym for Universal Windows Platform. That's a Skype just for Windows though, not Mac or iOS. The product called Skype Metro was discontinued a while back,

I have not tried Skype UWP with NVDA, but your description does not sound right; so I again wonder if you're talking about a different Skype version. First, if you can get it, tell me the version numb

Make sure to get a fresh copy of 6.22b from http://www.dlee.org/skype/ as I had to update the installer to support JAWS 2018. Also make sure you're using the 6.22b link, not a 6.22a link from the bott

The biggest mystery here is why you don't get a log. The person I mentioned before got, or at least seemed to get, an empty one once; but subsequent attempts produced the expected log material. The mo
