Bug Description

When using the Ubuntu Windows installer Wubi to use in Windows 7. It will not let me choose or select between several different desktop environments for the installation. It ONLY select one"" Ubuntu"" and NOT """"UBUNTU NETBOOK, KUBUNTU, XUBUNTU, MYTHBUNTU, ETC...."""" It worked before with out no problems not not now. What can do to get this to work again? Will i have to redo my computer and start fresh? If anyone has a any clue why this happening?
 My goal is to install xubuntu 11.04 inside Windows using (((( Ubuntu Windows Installer (Wubi ))))!!!!

If you like to see screenshot picture of installing xubuntu inside windows...here is a link bellow:

Ubuntu-netbook does not exist anymore - the netbook interface (unity) is now the default in Ubuntu.

If wubi.exe detects a particular desktop cd ISO 'flavour' it will only offer that option. So if you are running it off an Ubuntu CD, have an Ubuntu ISO in the current directory or in the root of any partition, it will only offer Ubuntu. Remove the CD/ISO and it will offer all the choices you expect (other than the netbook).
