the following is the last few lines in the wubi log file:

Funny but E:\ on my computer is a internal, built in camera memory slot and is therefore non-existent unless a camera memory device is plugged into it. I guess there is no work arounds for this mistake by the developer of wubi until this bug is reported and solved.

See this bug 862003. The install is likely fine and ready to go first time you reboot.

See also this (http://ubuntu-with-wubi.blogspot.com/2011/10/oneric-ocelot-1110-released.html) which discusses the difference between the preinstalled image (which you have) and the usual wubi install method.
