If you prefer to work with MSI files, download the Skype for Business version at http://c.skype.com/download/skype/windows/business/. The following package should work for Skype 3.8. Note that I added extra parameters to the installation string to eliminate the installation of everything except the Skype application and Start/Send To shortcuts.
