I have tried to follow the best answer on this question Is there an Ubuntu theme available to make it look like Windows 7? but when I enter this code ./win7-setup.sh I get this error:

enter image description here

And I have tried to run this command in "GNOME", "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME Classic(No effects)"

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

EDIT:

I have installed gdm and tried using gnome-classic with gdm and got the same error.

Try this:

Start up your machine. When you get to the login window press ctrl+alt+f1.
This will drop you into a commandline shell where you have to log in as well (the password will show no input on the screen, it's supposed to be like that for security reasons)

Now please type the following commands:

sudo killall lightdm

sudo stop lightdm

To make sure the running display manager has stopped.

Now activate the gnome-display-manager by typing

sudo gdm

After a few seconds you should see a new login screen please make sure a gnome-classic session is selected and log in to your system.

Now try the installation script again (make sure you run it with superuser privileges.
