I installed Ubuntu 11.04 32bit before with the Wubi installer.I therefore completely uninstalled ubuntu and downloaded the new Ubuntu 11.10 32bit.But now When I execute the Wubi.exe it doesn't start.I just get a quick change of the mouse pointer showing that something happened but then nothing , no error messages. Can anyone help me?



=====
Summary of a discussion so far during the investigation:



are you absolutely sure you downloaded 32bit ubuntu 11.10? Are you sure you are using 32bit windows 7 and not 64bit windows? Did you do a md5sum checksum to confirm the ISO downloaded is valid and not corrupted?



hey i downloaded ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso & am sure about win7 32bit & iso image MD5 is : c396dd0f97bd122691bdb92d7e68fde5 i checked both hashes from ubuntu & mine both same



thats the desktop version... the MD5 sum looks ok. Did you use this webpage to download from? ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer



i download it from ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download full .iso image not only wubi



what happens if you start wubi.exe from a command line?



if i write start H:wubi.exe in cmd ...nothing happened without quick change of the mouse pointer showing that something happened



is this a standard PC or a work-environment PC? i.e. you do have administrator rights or some-sort of clampdown on windows 7?



i am only user & administrator of my pc & it is a standard pc

In one of my log files, I have:



09-28 19:48 DEBUG WindowsBackend: startup_folder=C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup



Whereas you have:



01-03 01:13 DEBUG WindowsBackend: startup_folder=None



From analysis of the code, it appears that the bug is due to the fact that you don't have the startup folder set properly.
To workaround this problem, set the startup environment variable by editing the registry (regedit) and make sure the following is set:
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion'
'ExplorerShell Folders',
'Common Startup'



And ensure the referenced folder exists i.e. C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup



PS here is a reference to the bug report (this shouldn't be a fatal problem).
