    Installing Kubuntu : could not retrieve the required installation files

    I tried installing kubuntu using various versions of wubi (13.04,13.10,14.04) but all of them give the same error after 4 hours of installation : "could not retrieve the required installation files ".I have included the log file. Thanks in advance !

    Re: Installing Kubuntu : could not retrieve the required installation files

    Hello!

    There is little use in spending too much time trying to figure out what has gone wrong with a Wubi install. It is no longer recommended even by the developers and, even though it is still included on some images, it is going to be dropped completely.

    It will not work at all with a Windows 8.1 installation with UEFI.

    I would recommend a dual boot or virtualization.
