Wubi Crashes on startup

[Noremacam]

I downloaded the latest version of wubi off their website(wubi-installer.org/). It crashes instantly upon launching. I redownloaded it to verify it wasn't a bad download and I got the same result.

Its the typical windows error message:

"Windows based UBuntu Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the invonvenience."

It then asks me if I want to send a windows error report. What gives?

[ago]

There should be a wubi log file in %temp% please post it here. Also make sure you are using wubi rev 482

[novaa]

Both rev 479 and rev 482 crashes here as well.

The installer, 1.2MB, crashes everytime i double click on it. No way to install Wubi...

This is my logfile

I will provide a build with more debugging info tonight for you to try

[ago]

Can you please try with http://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/tmp/...eta-rev482.exe
and provide log if it fails?

[Noremacam]

Okay... trying it now

[Noremacam]

Can you please try with http://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/tmp/...eta-rev482.exe
and provide log if it fails?

OK, this time the file you posted works fine(I only tested it to the point it brought up the window, which is farther than I got before) but the original rev482 doesn't at all.

Here's the log file using the ORIGINAL wubi executable:

P.S. I replaced every instance in the log of my real name with my ubuntu name for obvious reasons
