yes, but i have tested with extra disabled in skype settings:
Tools->option->advanced->automatically start extras, turned off
i've disabled 360safe, and no other antivirus software installed

btw, it's windows xp sp3 with latest patch here.
what kind of 3rd party software would affect this issue?

still reproduced in 6.1beta1
i have uncheck all checkbox in "window setting" of actual window manager.
reproduced with either "skype" or "classic window" as "visual style of the window" in skype setting
skype is started as tray icon, not as a max/min/normal window with or without actual window manager.
i have skype extras disabled by unchecking "automatically start extras" in skype setting. i can see no extra listed skype's tools->extras menu

the only chance i can show skype is to stop actual window manager, or double left click skype tray icon like crazy when skype is starting up sigining in before it shows (or hide?) the window

i have no idea what i can provide you to reproduce the issue

lemme try to install one inside virtualbox

i spent days trying to reproduce it in virtualbox with no luck

tried:
a. install all xp hotfixes for guest
b. import HKCU registry from host to guest
c. compare services between host/guest

however i have the following test result
1. as i stated already, msi based installer will show most dialogs fine, but won't shows up the "installing progress" dialog for me
2. found another way to bring up skype:
when skype is starting up, i right click on the skype's tray icon, after it finish initializing, main window will show up with no problem
3. it seems actual window that may impact stability for my windows. sometimes alt+d won't work in explorer (which should focus address bar)

i also tried using logging but it's not verbose enough.
i can see no difference in log between good and bad AWM+skype behavoir
maybe you can think of logging all detail, instead of just when rule is matched. it is acceptable that detail log will only avaiable inside a "debug" or "test" version

uncheck "Default settings", but "rule/exclusion name" is still "Default settings", i highly doubt this as a logging issue, as i'm sure it's AWM that did something incorrect so skype isn't showing up.

i finally workaround this problem by adding skype to exlcusion list
program: \Skype.exe
class: tSkMainForm.UnicodeClass
rule name: skype

"skype" is shown as exclusion name in log list finally

btw, i used spy++ from vs2008. when skype isn't showing up its main window, i can still see the window in spy++, except that there's no visible style set. i cannot change the style as spy++ lack of such ability

would you pls add AWM this ability?
* list all windows, marking them visible/invisible
* users can toggle visibility

why is this feature important:
1. for windows that AWM failed to show it. well this is a bug should be fixed, but before the bug is gone we have the workarround
2. some windows is tray icon-ized by AWM, but AWM is killed by accident, SEGV, or whatever, just gone. i could not access to those windows ever again
3. reveal hidden windows design by application but users want to see it. just like some button is disabled and there is a button enabler program for us already
