Bug Description

I downloaded 9.10 and created a CD. I have tried to install Ubuntu under Windows Vista using Wubi but I get an 'invalid argument' error. This is the log I got. Any help will be much appreciated.

Following Ajenbo's advice I ran the downloaded wubi; it is in the same folder as the downloaded iso file. I did not have the CD I had created available. It worked. Hitherto it would seem that because there were two versions of the iso file available, on C drive and the CD, that wubi got its knickers in a twist.

Thanks everybody

I've tried installing on drive C: and D: and still not able to get system to install. I keep getting an 'Invalid Argument' error after the files have extracted. Why is this happening?
