“Please obtain a new copy of the program.”
7December 15, 2006 by Bruce
If something goes wrong while installing Skype, you might get this oddly vague error message: “The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.“
This has happened to me once before, on a previous version. And again on this new version 3.0…
No matter how many times you try to “obtain a new copy of the program” — by clicking Download, and then clicking the Run button… You get this same error…
The Cause: Internet Explorer has cached (stored for quicker access) a copy of this file (SkypeSetup.exe) on your computer already… And that copy is corrupt.
The Solution: Inside Internet Explorer, simply click on Tools, then Internet Options, then under Temporary Internet Files, click Delete Files…
Then, go try downloading Skype again, here.
