Ho seguito la procedura indicata sul sito -Link- come da segnalazione.

Il procedimento richiede una versione di Skype installata sul pc. Infatti il launcher andrà a prelevare i dati (applicazione) necessari, oltre al vs profilo memorizzato sul pc. Richiede inoltre la presenza di un pendrive inserito nel pc dato che di default la cartella Skype portable viene creata in un drive removibile.

Avviato poi su un sistema pulito questo è il problema:

Spoiler:


Mentre non particolarmente invasivo (a livello di registro e cartelle) è il wizard di creazione della versione portable -> log_avvio_skype.zip

Mi era sfuggito questo post....

Visto il tipo di software (proprietario) portabilizzato forzatamente senza seguire la nostra filosofia, e le tracce lasciate nel computer dal modulo di predisposizione, sposto la discussione in "Software Non Portabilizzabili".

@Pathologist,
thanks for your submission, your post scheme is really complete, but unfortunately, Skype is not open source, so we cannot support this software without explicit write permission from the author.

Anyhow, the SkypePortable.exe launcher itself leave informations on the computer, as reported on the post above by Moticanus; so this discussion will be shifted on the "Programs that CAN'T be made portable" section.

Best regards
