Hi,
I don't want to create a lot of spam, but I have also added this discussion

IMHO it doesn't make sense to remain Wubi on ISOs without maintaining. So I
agree with bcbc, "It is broken and needs to be fixed or removed."

There is also some logic in Ubiquity that will copy Wubi.exe to the Windows
startup folder, when it finds 4 primary partitions already in use on an MBR
formatted disk. It asks "Install Ubuntu inside Windows?" as the first
option. e.g. http://askubuntu.com/q/536075/14916

Modern Windows releases broke Wubi, so we stopped shipping and
supporting it a while back. As far as I know it's a dead-end now.

Hey,
Is wubi still a supported way of installing? If so, who maintains it?
Seems we have some bugs [1] including one fairly serious one [2] which
causes the wrong version of Ubuntu to get installed.
I was told wubi (installer) was to be replaced by a simpler wubi which
is just a menu. This
I happen to get some failure in doing a 11.04 to 12.04 move so I stuck
back to Wubi here is my message on user list
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2013-January/266972.html

as mentioned on this message

there is no folder named boot here and instead it is C:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub
and this folder is completely empty.
I think Wubi installation does not uses grub.
I have not done any changes to any default installation.
It was just a normal installation.
