Hi,

It looks like mint4win is trying to download the ISO from elsewhere (which it shouldn't) and it fails on checking the signature (which it should since they're dummy ones).

- Is this the i386 or amd64 ISO?
- Can you verify the MD5 of the ISO file?
- Can you boot the computer on the CD and perform an "integrity check"?

Hello,
thanks for your reply.
the ISO file MD5 is correct.
the mint4win is really trying to download the ISO from somewhere,
so,I install it offline and succeed.
the reason might be that mint4win fail to download the right file,so parse it wrongly.

Sorry, can you say that again... if you disconnect Windows from the Internet then Mint4Win installs correctly? If you're connected to the Internet, then it tries to download the metalink and fails with the above error message? Is that statement right?

yes,
I notice this phenomenon also in other ubuntu edition ,if I shutdown the internet connection, wubi will install ubuntu or linuxmint correctly,but if windows is online,the wubi installer try to download something which can not be download correctly due to different countries.I wonder why wubi will download something from internet ?why not install the system firstly,then after user's login ,then do update.

I think I found out what the problem was:

- The autorun file specifies the option --skipmd5check. This option skips the GPG check which is responsible for the error mentioned in this bug report.
- "Exploring the content of the CD" and launching mint4win.exe directly without this option can result in the error shown above.

Can you try to right click on the CD Rom drive and select "Install or run program". See if this works.

Confirmed, I can reproduce the fault by running mint4win.exe directly without the option --skipmd5check, workaround is to use the autorun or to run "mint4win.exe --skipmd5check".
