Typo here, but the search result was still empty.

The problem is to install the (only available) 32bit (old) binaries on a 64bit
architecture. I've done this before, but recently, when I need it on another
box, I failed to install a working Skype. (Did not spend too much time on it
though, I'm now using a more recent Skype on a Windows 10 box :( )
