Wubi

Permission Denied 11.04

Asked by Todd Rickard

I've downloaded Ubuntu 11.04 and burnt it to cd. Booting into the cd works find and the MD5Sum match. But when I try to install it inside windows, it goes so far and then gives a Permission Denied error. I have posted the log file at http://pastebin.com/Mn0nbdAF for review. Any help is appreciated.

Install magicdisk and mount the ISO. You can then install from there. You can resize the NTFS in the liveCD and install a true install rather than wubi if you wish. The performance will be better as it is not affected by the fragmentation. It's also easier to fix if it breaks

Unfortunately, it does the same thing. I installed a version of Ubuntu on this same system about a year ago and had no problems installing it within windows, so not sure what's happening now. I'd rather not have to shrink my volume to do a "true" install, but looks like I might have to. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Did you mount the ISO or did you just download wubi? I've heard things about windows firewall blocking stuff

I burnt the iso to cd and got denied, got denied after mounting the iso, and even tried downloading the wubi.exe from the site. But that just read the files from the cd, which got denied.

No need to burn anything if you are using wubi. You can use magicdisk and mount the ISO (Windows is primitive and cannot do this without extra software, Linux has been mounting ISO files for AGES and natively). You can then run it from that. Not only will it be faster as you are not using slow optical media, it will be more robust as their are no moving parts

Well not sure why it wouldn't work from 2 different isos' or the cd version. I wound up removing all downloaded files and got a fresh copy of the wubi installer, and that worked for me. Thanks for the help.
