Installation of wubi fails on windows 7

[Calvinista]

I'm trying to install ubuntu using wubi under Windows 7. I was successful on another computer which runs XP, but this one fails.

Here is the log file beginning with the first error message.

Thanks!

Look before that in the log. Check the number of bytes in the diskimage tar.xz file being downloaded, and check the number of bytes that were actually downloaded. Ensure they're the same.

If you have win7 with uefi boot that means gpt table on the disk. I have heard wubi doesn't work on gpt.

Almost all windows machines these days come with gpt. Older win7 machines might still have msdos table.

I've seen this problem before. It's the apostrophe (') in your user name. For whatever reason the command isn't escaped correctly and resize2fs fails. I don't know if this bug has been reported already. Feel free to file one: http://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug (although dev has stopped on Wubi so not sure what will happen with it).

The only other way to install it would be to save the 12.10 desktop ISO in the same folder as wubi.exe before running (and in this case it doesn't use the diskimage install, so resize2fs isn't involved).

Also see what darkod said.

OK that's the problem. I created a new admin account without the apostrophe and everything worked.
Thanks for all the help!

Cool, thanks for your feedback. I created the bug report for you. https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/1166919
