It's not possible without modifying wubi.exe and compiling it. And even then you'd have to modify/regenerate the wubildr file and some packages on ubuntu to support it (or build a custom grub.cfg)

Why do you want to do this?

I understand that It's very complicated...

I was only wondering if it was possible! I would of installed it in another directory, probably a directory that belongs to my users (in windows) instead of directly to the c: wich is for all user (in windows).

Thanks for the answer
