--- Comment #19 from Guillaume Charifi guillaume.charifi@sfr.fr --- (In reply to dlumberg from comment #15)
Patched against 1.7.11 from git pulledon July 12, 2014
Patch applied cleanly with a few Whitespace Errors
Built fine, installed Skype 6.18.0.15 and it crashed after the initial screen.
I deleted the Login.cab file and ran Skype.exe and it loaded fine.
It didn't detect my sound/camera etc but I think that's moreto do with the barebones wine setup than anything else.
Thanks Guillaume
Well, that's fine, with pleasure. The sound is a bit buggy, most of the time it will simply not work, but the sound card can miraculously be recognized from time to time... The camera does not work at all, probably due to a missing Wine implementation.

I'm curious, if you use the /legacylogin parameter with Skype, is deleting login.cab still required?
I did not know this parameter, it's good to know.
