Hey there experts!

Can anyone please help me with this problem I have got here? My Skype showed that a new update is available and so I tried to update it which failed every time. Then I tried a manual installation by uninstalling my current Skype and still it is not working. The installation continues for about 15 minutes and then it suddenly stops. Looking for a helping hand out there from the experts.
