So far so good. The attached screenshot shows it's now doing it's thing.

Just to be absolutely sure you know what I'm doing:

I booted the Live CD and chose install, then you pass the first two installation screens. On the third screen it offers three options:

Install inside Windows
Replace Windows
Something else

I chose "inside Windows" which resulted in a text screen prompt to remove disc and press enter.

Upon doing so, after Windows loads all of it's garbage................ slowly ................... the Wubi install screen displays where you can change install size or username and enter your password. Then the download and install begins.

Of course the install is not complete until you boot into Ubuntu the first time.

I do think for Oneiric we need to explore the option of adding an option to "Use existing image" to the Wubi install screen that appears upon reboot. I mean why DL an image that's right on the desk in front of you?

Regardless I'll report back when things are truly complete.

My big question is: is there any specific regression I should look for in the many other installation options?

I mean, is there another specific installation option you'd like me to try first after this completes (if successful)?

I don't want to see us cause a bigger problem this late in the game :^)
