Portable means setting Skype up this way allows it to run from any directory you move it to, and you can run it from your USB flash drive or wherever. see instructions here:

Skype v3 AND 4 are actually natively portable. All you need to do is get the Skype.exe file which is the only file you need. You can either get this from an existing installation OR (as TPFC describes) install, then uninstall, while grabbing the Skype.exe file (which is about 23MB). Some people don't like to install programs (like me) so you can install inside a sandbox and grab the single file you need (Skype.exe). This file only includes the main components, none of the toolbar, plugin manager stuff. Alas, you make a shortcut as described by TPFC with the following argument "Skype.exe /datapath:data /removable" pointing at wherever you put the .exe file, then you run the shortcut. Make sure you make a "data" folder in the same directory Skype.exe is located. See full instructions here. The Portable Freeware Collection has instructions on how to make skype portable.

And, isn’t using the Custom Installers (method 1) easier than your sandbox method?

Better yet, make it portable by following the instructions on TPFC and by getting the skype.exe by installing in a sandbox. No need for this complicated msi business. This is like common sense.
