Downloaded the Wubi exe today to install 10.10 on a new netbook.

But at launch it reads, "You are about to install Ubuntu 10.04".

So I guess wubi has not been updated yet for the new release?

What's a person to do?

I know, just checked and still 10.04. Wonder if it is new one but hasn't updated number. Think this happened with wubi 2 releases ago as well.

Would stay away from Wubi for now. The current Release Notes indicate they are STILL having problems with Wubi in 10.10. The previous Release Notes indicated that attempting to upgrade Wubi from 10.04 to 10.10 would FAIL.

I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 desktop version today opened up file and clicked wubi.exe file, and loaded fine. Here is a website that helps you out, but I am doing this post using wubi 10.10. Steve
