Bug Description
I just completed, and then repeated, a Wubi install using the new ubiquity option to offer the Wubi option if 4 primary partitions exist. I described the installation here:
https:/
Please be sure to look at all three screenshots here:

Every reboot into Windows after the installation is complete results in being told I need to uninstall the newly installed Wubi.
So, I think whatever mechanism ubiquity is using to auto-launch the Wubi procedure is still trying to relaunch the Wubi install process after successfully completing the Wubi install.
I see there is a rebuild in progress so I'll repeat this ASAP.

This isn't so much a bug in Wubi - this is the normal action. If you run it the first time it prompts to install. When you run it after installing, it prompts to uninstall first.
So the bug is that ubiquity is placing Wubi in the Windows startup programs list and there's no way to remove it afterwards. It should be adding it as a "Runonce" to the windows registry which is supposed to automatically be removed.
