Linux mint has it's own version of Wubi called Mint4Win.

In theory Wubi can support any linux distribution that includes lupin support: https://launchpad.net/lupin
But it has to be compiled to know where to download the specific release and where to get the md5 check sums.

In Linux Mint website for Mint4win they gave screenshots of Wubi. Thats why I got this doubt.

That above link was found with google. I have never installed mint4win so
cannot verify it or the install method. I recommend burning the ISO to a CD
and running mint4win that way.

Can you help with this problem?
