Wubi not working lubuntu

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 930 / 3 Years ago, sat, september 25, 2021, 6:07:46

I am trying to install lubuntu 14.04 using wubi. I have already compared the md5 of the image lubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso with the one given at UbuntuHashes and it matched. I also burnt the image to a pendrive and used the live system. So, the image file I downloaded can be assumed to be not corrupted but I still get the error : Cannot download the metalink and therefore the iso. I have googled a lot and nearly tried out all the methods mentioned there but still unable to install the wubi. Please help and thanks in advance.

Wubi was discontinued as of Ubuntu 13.04. (although it was still released as part of the desktop ISO after that -and maybe still is-). Installing Ubuntu inside windows in Win8 or up will certaily fail (as per the official Wubiguide). But trying this -even if you are using windows 7 or lower- is just going to be a minefield. I recommend against it. There are alternatives, like installing a virtual machine in your windows OS (like Oracle Virtualbox), and install Ubuntu 14.04 on that.

Good luck!
