    Can't install Ubuntu

    Hi
    I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu using wubi.

    I get the error:

    09-20 23:51 ERROR WindowsBackend: [Errno 2] The system cannot find the file specified

    and later on in the log:

    Hi,
    you can download ubuntu iso and place it in the same folder containing the wubi executable.
