wubi install fails on vista

[hyperyoda]

Argh all that downloading for nothing, it fails when it is around 98% finished with install! Giving a permission denied error, yet that makes no sense because I am running as Administrator account in Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit on amd64).

BTW I followed the recommended fix on the WubiGuide and it doesn't work.

It says to copy the ISO file (ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso) into the same directory as the wubi.exe installer file. I did that and it still goes through the whole long process of downloading the ISO file and gives the same error at the end

Here is the relevant tail of the log file.

I'd say your trouble started before any permissions errors were indicated.
It looks as if you're trying the install with the download wrapped up inside the install, and you'd be better off looking for a download which passes the md5sum check before you start on the wubi install - that way, should you get a permissions error, you can sort out the error without having to re-download.

Just a thought

Thanks will try that.
