I tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 (official release) from inside windows using Wubi from the cd, and it always throws the following error :
"writelines() argument must be a sequence of strings" when i'ts suppose to start the installation

Is there any way to avoid this error ?

I get the same error while trying to install on a VAIO CS11 (Vista x86 SP1) from a Ubuntu 9.04 image + downloaded wubi installer.

Well, it is now a known bug as you see here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/365642). I followed the solution proposed here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/365642/comments/7), changing the default current format (see: regional settings) to English and it worked! I hope it works for you as well.
