I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine. My specs far exceed the requirements to install, so I know there's no problem there.

On installation I receive an error somewhat through that says something like:



An error occured:

Permission denied

For more information, please see the log file:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\wubi-9.10ubuntu1-rev160.log


So.... I go to that file, and the last line in it is:



OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso'


I did run Wubi Installer as an Administrator, and unblocked it giving it full privileges. It's really annoying because my download speed is 80kb/s so it takes about 3 hours to download. During that 3 hours I can't use my internet so I have to wait, and wait, and wait, and then boom... error. And wubi can't pick up where it left off, you have to uninstall to reinstall, which sucks tremendously.

Please help.

Folks,

This is the thing I did.

I downloaded the CD-Image 32-bit and the wubi.exe 32-bit as well. And then I installed as usual. You have to donwload both in the same location by the way. At least worked for me.

One of the posts in these forums said I could simply take the wubi.exe file and copy it into the same folder as a freshly downloaded ubuntu iso before running it. THIS WORKED FOR ME!

it was quite a shock actually...

I didn't even have to use a 3rd party program to mount the iso. I suggest trying this method first.
