Skype Setup: Error code 0xA1080001 (Skype unavailable)
Brand new Lumia 950 XL and going through the Skype Setup process in the Messaging app is throwing the error code described in the title each time. It sits on "Just a moment..." for a few seconds followed by the error each time I try and run the setup.
I'm running the latest build 10586.29 (released today, 8/12/15), I have not configured it for Insider builds, it was setup as a new device did not restore anything from a backup.
I have the same problem on a Lumia 635 which is configured for Fast ring, I figured if I hard reset it would likely work, however going from setup of a brand new device and getting the same error makes me think its Microsoft's side. I can use the Skype app normally which is connected to my Microsoft account.
I also have a Lumia 925 which did setup Skype without problems sometime ago in the Insider Programme.
I have tried going through the process on a different WiFI connections, 4G etc. Nothing works.
Any ideas?
