    Wubi doesnt install as a windows app

    Hi everyone
    I've been using kubuntu from time to time, and one thing that i love was the option to install/uninstall as if it was another common windows application.

    A few days ago, i downloaded the 10.10 release, and after i executed wubi, i just get 2 option:
    Full demo and install
    and learn more

    So, am I doing something wrong?

    BTW, i also run wubi with an ISO next to it, but it shows the same window.

    So, is there a way to install kubuntu as a windows appa again???

    I've tried google, but everything seems to point that that feature still exists, but i cant find it.

    Thanks everyone!

    Use wubi.exe from here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/

    Place it in the same folder as your downloaded .iso

    Thanks for your advice, and time to answer.
    That new executable gave me the option to install as a windows app, however it didnt recognized the iso that i downloaded.

    I tricked the installer to copy from the virtual dvd by mounting the iso after the first screen (the one where i set the user, drive, and distro).

    But almost at 99% it failed. Showed me some weird error, and pointed me to the log.

    Here is the log:

    I guess the wubi intaller doesnt get along well with the DVD iso.
    I'll download the cd one, and see how it works.

    Thanks

    UPDATE:

    I've installed Kubuntu succesfully from the wubi installer, i just let it download a new iso and everything went just fine.

    Weird that it didnt want to use the DVD iso.

    Thanks
