Bug Description

When attempting to install Ubuntu via Wubi, I get the exception mentioned in the attachment.

It occurs with wubi from iso, and with wubi downloaded from site.

It says the following:
04-24 22:07 ERROR TaskList: writelines() argument must be a sequence of strings
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py", line 196, in __call__
