Skype for phone error when launching the program

When installing apps on the phone, the handset’s operating system supports a specific file format. For Android handsets, apps to install are using the “.apk” file format or extension name. When you have a Windows Phone Smartphone, the applications you install are using “.xap” file format or extension name. EXE files or files using “.exe” extension names can only be executed on PC with Microsoft Windows operating system.

In your case, check if “skype.exe” is located on the phone and is opened using the phone software. You cannot run EXE files on the phone to install the app. The installer to use needs to be in the format the phone’s operating system supports. If you have a handset running on Android, you can install Skype from Skype for Android.
