Bump...

Someone has now changed the wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer to be the same one mentioned here: version 10.04.1. (new bug 762833).

I don't know how to make a bug critical... but users are downloading this invalid wubi.exe and letting it download the 700MB 10.04.2 image and then rejecting it - it's a pain, doesn't look good, and really it should be a simple fix.

So could someone figure out who is responsible and ask them to change it? Pretty please?

PS... a suggestion. State what version of Ubuntu is being downloaded from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer so users are aware what release it is... and also when you change wubi.exe the next time - you can let me know and I'll be very happy to test it to prevent problems like this in the future. It takes pretty much 5 minutes to check it's the correct .exe.

Thanks
