Hey Doug, how about looking into the possibility of using Windows Installer 
(.msi) files for Skype script installations/updates? Just a thought.

I first raised the space issue actually.  Sarah is asking this
question because she makes the Skype installers, I added a
subdirectory to the file set, we found out that her installer won't
handle that very well, and she started trying new ones.  My problem is
that I have a fairly small web site, meaning not much space for files,
and the Skype script versions tend to stay there for a while.  I may
have to deal with the deletion of Skype versions soon, but I admit I
was trying to put that off.  I have reasons for not wanting to move
the web site though.

JSX can create subdirectories, easily if the subdirectory is under the
user script directory, or with coding in the Inno Setup Pascal language
otherwise.  A JSX-based installer is, indeed, relatively large, though
that is practically hardly ever an issue these days.  If the user wants
to save the space after installation, simply delete the setup file.

Jamal
