I installed Ubuntu 12.04.1LTS using Wubi Installer. It worked absolutely fine and I used it for a while and installed some updates too.

For some reason I had to uninstall Ubuntu. I uninstalled Ubuntu 12.04.1 from Control Panel>Programs and Features>Ubuntu. It successfully uninstalled Ubuntu.

I then installed Ubuntu 12.10 using Wubi Installer available in the iso image. The system restarted and started installing Ubuntu 12.10. When the installation reached about 70% it hung [stuck]. The message on the installer is "Almost finishing copying files". I waited for nearly an hour, but in vain.
I powered off the pc and booted windows [No issues with windows]. Again I uninstalled Ubuntu, and ran Wubi to install 12.04.1, but again it hangs at the same point.
I repeated the installation a couple of times, but it always fails at the same point.

[B]Question is whats going wrong? It worked fine the first time, after uninstalling ubuntu, its not reinstalling.
Please help. Thank You.

Hi bcbc,
Thanks for the link. I did check the logs.

For my luck, after reverting from command line to GUI, it continued installation and installed successfully. Now I have ubuntu 12.10 installed.

I really dont know what caused it to hang the previous times. I just cant find a reason.

Anybody who faces similar issue, please do share it here and keep the thread alive.

As for now, the question still remains a mystery, leaving it unanswered........

Paimeauu,

Did you capture the logs? If so, please attach them either here or to a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug

That will help figure out the issue. Also, post your machine brand/model/graphics card etc.

Thanks!
