Wubi wont run.

Asked by Marcus Sullins

I have downloaded the Wubi installer, but it wont run at all. I have double clicked it and said run as administrator and it does nothing. It will make the windows loading indicator show "the blue circle" but that's it. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium X64 bit edition. I have also tried using daemon tools to run Wubi from the iso but still nothing happened. Please help.. I want to run Ubuntu along with my Windows 7.

Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

No, but even the actual Wubi.exe wont even run. I have no clue whats wrong. I have installed ubuntu before with no problems.

Do you have python installed?

Can you check the log file in the %TEMP% directory - sometimes Wubi will halt if there is no default 'Startup'directory. Please http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ the log file is you find it and post back with the pastebin address. It's called wubi-11.10-rev245.log. Thanks.

I Re-Installed Windows, due to the fact that the start up folder was missing. Fixed my problem. Thanks For the help.

I'm sorry you had to reinstall Windows. I think you could probably have patched it up manually. But glad you got it resolved.
