Choosing 32b rather than 64b in WUBI

http://askubuntu.com – I'm using Windows 8 (32bit) customer preview and installing WUBI Ubuntu 12,04.1. I down loaded 32 bit installer from ubuntu dot com, The wubi installer says AMD 64 xt. I had a previous 12,04 install and in the terminal typed in uname -a, it say's 64 bit. I also opened detail from the system and it read 64 bit system. My question is: how to ensure that a windows/wubi/ubuntu/installer is 32 bit or 64 bit BEFORE making a commitment to install from the wrong wubi install? After posting this I did another wubi installation. Signed into ubuntu, opened system settings, open Details: OS Type 64 Bi (HowTos)

I'm using Windows 8 (32bit) customer preview and installing WUBI Ubuntu 12,04.1. I down loaded 32 bit installer from ubuntu dot com, The wubi installer says AMD 64 xt. I had a previous 12,04 install and in the terminal typed in uname -a, it say's 64 bit. I also opened detail from the system and it read 64 bit system.

Is it possible to install ubuntu with the help of wubi installer on windows 7 home basic(Sony Vaio) which is having 2 GB RAM, 320 GB hard disk, i3 intel second generation processor?????

Is there any BSOD error while installing using wubi? If there is any precautions please let me know. I love to use ubuntu and windows 7 simultaneously...Thanks for any help provided..

I installed the newest release of Ubuntu 12.04 with the wubi installer. The computer is up and running with Ubuntu, I am typing this in Firefox and I can use all the software that was supplied with the installation. However, it seems there is only a small selection of new apps that I am able to install.

First time poster here. I am trying to run Ubuntu on Windows 7 64-bit using Wubi. On my first couple of tries it gave me the "Extraction failed with code: 2". Then I manually downloaded the iso ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso (choosing the 64-bit version from the dropdown) to my desktop where the wubi.exe is. I'm still having the same issue.

I installed an older version of Ubuntu before with the Wubi installer. I then did an upgrade of the Ubuntu to the latest 11.10 version but this did not work well. Icons were missing in Ubuntu and it was pretty messed up (with no option to shut down Ubuntu etc.). I therefore completely uninstalled ubuntu from within Windows 7 64 bit and downloaded the new Ubuntu 11.10 Wubi.exe.

Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer), a tool developed by Canonical to make it easier for Windows users to adopt the Ubuntu operating system, will be discontinued.

Developers from Canonical have stated that the Wubi tool is in pretty bad shape and that it shouldn't be included in the Ubuntu 13.04 release schedule.

A few major bugs have been identified in the software.

When I try to install Ubuntu 11.10 using Wubi I get an error asking to check

C:/users/home/appdata/local/temp/wubi-11.10-rev245.log

I don't know what to do.

I am not using the internet to install Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu in .iso format and I install it by keeping Wubi and the .iso file in the same folder.

Here is the log file.

i am not being able to install ubuntu using wubi. after running wubi and selecting the drive and passwords etc. , the download starts but an error occurs which says

Unsubscriptable object for more information, please see the log file: appdata\local\temp\wubi-11.10-rev245.log

my operating system is windows 7 64 bit. tried for all type of drives like primary and logical also. Please help. Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer from Windows using Wubi, but I have a problem with it. Firstly I mount a CD image in a virtual drive via Daemon tool. Next I start Wubi, fill all installation fields, and then I click next. Then Wubi starts to extract files, etc.
