Bug Description

Wubi repeated stopped early with a "permission denied" error. wubi-9.04-rev128.log. The actual problem was that the CD was (in part) unreadable. When I tried a straight install later, it failed early. A good CD on the same machine later yielded a trouble-free Wubi installation.

The log message includes:

Does this happen at the beginningg or at the end of the file copying operation?

Nearer the beginning, I suppose. The top progress bar was about 1/3, the bottom one about a 1/5. It took about a minute, maybe two, to happen.

We have since installed Ubuntu directly. I can't repeat it because Windows was wiped out, and I think I tossed out the borked CD.

More a workaround than a proper fix, in that the error will be ignored and a download will begin.

Hi, I have this same exact issue. How do I solve this? Installing it directly? I'm sorry I am new to this, but any help would be very appreciated.

Sorry, but I think you should reopen this bug. I tried wubi.exe r134 and got the exact same error.

I had the same problem. "Permission Denied" error appears at the end of ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent download. This happened running wubi 9-10ubuntu1 rev160

Now I'm trying with wubi-r168, let you know if this fixes the error.

Just to let you know that seems to be fixed on wubi-r168. It works for me, and now I'm running Ubuntu 9.10

I have just tried this with the wubi-r168.exe (in the same directory as ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso), run with command line "wubi-r168.exe --32bit", and the error still occurs.
