Skype recent update on Windows 7

[cinnamon cider]

Hi, guys. My skype installed on a laptop was recently working fine until it tried to update(6.16.xxxx) itself this morning. During the update - it caused my unit to crash and report some codes on the blue screen.

I tried to un-install and re-install it again, but it still ended with a crash during its installation.

Can anyone help me on this?

Here's some additional information about the crash:

Fixed it by reverting to Skype version 6.14; 6.16 crashes on mine.
