This is a bit confusing. To install IN Windows you insert the CD while IN Windows. It will install Ubuntu to your Windows drive and to use it you need to re-boot and choose Ubuntu from the Windows bootloader. The Ubuntu installation is a compressed image that will be mounted as a loopback device.
To install regular Ubuntu you need to insert the CD and re-boot. Then you can elect to try Ubuntu without installing from the CD or to install it. You can replace Windows or share a drive with Windows or do a custom installation. The difference between WUBI, the first option, and a regular installation is in *when* you insert the disk. You cannot install WUBI from outside Windows and you cannot install Ubuntu in Windows. This is more than just semantics. WUBI depends on Windows to create the image file and it depends on Windows file system integrity to keep it secure. It is NOT meant to replace a regular installation. It is only a better way to try Ubuntu than the Live CD. If Windows goes down you can lose WUBI. Regular Ubuntu can co-exist with Windows, but does not depend on it in any way.
