Just for the record, I'm not really up on the details and don't use Ubuntu, but ... I think WUBI is partially broken and mostly unsupported. I also think they're going to remove it entirely soon. A quick check of Wikipedia confirms this: "It is due to be removed in 13.04." (Though maybe someone will fix it, but I kinda doubt it.) http://news.softpedia.com/news/Wubi-Needs-to-Die-a-Quick-and-Painless-Death-Says-Ubuntu-Developer-344545.shtml Hmmm, it occurs to me that 13.04 has already happened (been released), so lemme check ...
