Permissin denied during wupi install into Vista

[Thulemanden]

The Ubuntu 9.04 stops during the wupi install into Vista Home Basic with some permission errors.

The basic dual boot install also failed, as Grub and the choice of OS didn't pop up.

Also PCLinuxOS failed as Mint Linux. There is plenty of space avilable som 30 GB,

When you run the .exe file, right-click it and select "Run as Administrator". That will elevate permissions for the Wubi file to Trusted Installer and should work after that.
