This could be a permission or compatability problem, see http://www.itninja.com/question/help-with-msi-1601

Doesn't the Skype license explicitly forbid corporate use?

Can you check where it is giving this error in the sequence by generating a log file.

I have removed this link as it is not useful for the packagers and it can be tried only in standalone machines...

  • Has anyone tried this? 1601 is a Windows Installer error, not unique to Skype and this site is simply saying Error Code 1601 tends to be caused because of corrupt system files within the Windows OS. It offers a "free error code scan" which I would personally be rather suspicious of. - bkelly 12 years ago
