Posting this here because I didn't see a bug reports section on the wubi website.
I'm trying to use wubi to install Ubuntu 10.04 under from Vista. I had Vista installed first and then installed W7 in another partition. Looks like my windows boot manager is on the W7 partition now. So when wubi lanches bcdedit.exe I get this error:
10-01 17:58 ERROR root: Error executing command
>>command=C:\Windows\System32\bcdedit.exe /create /d Ubuntu /application bootsector
>>retval=1
>>stderr=The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
The system cannot find the file specified.
>>stdout=

Exception: Error executing command

>>retval=1
>>stderr=The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
The system cannot find the file specified.
I know I could simply install it from under W7 (haven't tried yet), but for the sake of fixing bugs is there a simpler solution than getting the source, forcing bcdedit.exe to try finding the boot manager on all the NTFS partitions and then recompiling everything back into a package? (Mostly I don't want to do that because I don't know how to package the wubi.exe/lib and stuff back into the executable)
