Fyi in recent days the version of Wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer has quietly been changed to 10.10.
I reported on the 14th Jan that it was 10.04.1 so I wanted to correct that for anyone reading this now.

Also, I just want to add that the Wubi Megathread on ubuntuforums.org which shows how to fix this bug (and the other major grub Wubi issue - bug 610898) has had over 23000 hits in 2 months. Just to give an idea of the scale of this bug - despite the low "This bug affects # people" counter.

If any developer is able to fix this it would be appreciated. From what I can determine - the fix would be to change script grub-install in package lupin-support to clean up the /boot/grub directory after calling grub-install.real (which is the real grub-install script in Grub2 package). The fix is a couple of lines, and I've informally tested it on 10.04.1 and it worked - so it shouldn't take a developer a long time to package. I would be happy to assist in testing.
