    Can't install SKYPE 4.0 > Message:.\SkypeSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application
    On attempting to run SkypeSetup.exe after downloading Skype 4.0 into my laptop using Windows Vista I am receiving this message,

    "C:\Users\ <my name>\My Programs\SKYPE 4.0\SkypeSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application".

    However, I was able to run SkypeSetup.exe after downloading Skype 4.0 into my desktop computer which uses Windows XP Professional.

    Yet, with Vista, nothing worked, including copying the setup file into Program Files or to the Public Folder and trying to install it again. I just keep getting the same error message every time.

    Can anyone suggest a solution?
