Install 9.04 from win7 by wubi. Error An error has occurred setting the element data

[rachzhang]

Hello all,

I tried to install ubuntu 9.04 from wubi in windows 7 ultimate today. But it failed. I met a problem when installing: An error has occurred setting the element data. The request is not supported.

The detailed information in installation log file is:
>>stdout=
01-26 13:29 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist
01-26 13:29 DEBUG TaskList: New task modify_bcd

>>stderr=An error has occurred setting the element data.

I tried to use bcdedit /set <GUID> device partition=I: manually, but still have the same error.

Anyone can tell me how to fix it?

Thanks very much!

I get the same error with 9.10 when installing from windows 7, either of you two had any luck?
