Please attach the wubi log in your user %temp% folder
Also at boot, press ESC after selecting "ubuntu" and try the other options, in particular the verbose mode

Seems a duplicate of 207137, try to use wubi.exe directly with the ISO (place both in the same folder), without CD inserted

Just copy wubi.exe in the same folder where you saved the Ubuntu ISO file, and then double click on wubi.exe.
Do not use a CD, whether real or emulated via daemon tools or similar.
