wubi-r129.exe from http://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/wubi/jaunty/
Windows XP SP3 on Thinkpad r50e

I have used this build of wubi (in fact this exact file!) successfully on two other XP SP3 machines, but when trying it on the Thinkpad it does not appear to do anything.

More specifically, a pylXX.tmp.exe and a pylXX.tmp folder are created in %TEMP% but then the folder is immediately deleted and the process quits.

Note that the wubi GUI never starts, so no wubi logs get created.

I am happy to provide further information, but need pointing in the right direction :-)
. Is there a way of diagnosing/logging exactly what is happening on this machine?
. Are there any dependencies for unpacking wubi that may be missing from this machine?
