Bug Description

ISO Testing Maverick 10.10 Desktop i386/amd64
When launching Wubi.exe on Windows 7, it start extracting a few directories and files and after a few seconds I get a dialog with a title 'Internal error' and the error "Cannot copy ù''.exe"

Same error when wubi is launched from a USB key or the harddrive, the full content of the key or wubi.exe alone.

Screenshot attached. (sorry for the bmp but that's the only format supported by a base w7)
