[Bug 838040] Re: Wubi - After choosing install inside windows hard reboot is required

[Erick Brunzell]

I just tested this procedure with Ubuntu 20110920-i386 and all went as
expected, that is after selecting install inside Windows I was asked to
reboot and the DL & installation completed as they should.

So I'm marking this invalid, but I'd very much appreciate the installer
team devs letting me know if this needs retesting before the Oneiric
final iso-testing images ;^)

  Wubi - After choosing install inside windows hard reboot is required

Bug description:
  I do not often use Wubi so this definitely needs to be confirmed by
  someone else, but with Beta upon us and the final not far off I wanted
  to be sure the "Wubi offered if four primary partitions exist" feature
  in the live installer worked properly.

  I performed this test first using the Lubuntu 20110830.2-i386 live CD
  and after it partially failed I repeated the test with the Ubuntu
  20110831-i386 iso which also failed.

  Now, the installer offers the correct options; install inside Win,
  replace Win, or something else. But after selecting "inside windows"
  and rebooting I waited and waited after booting Win XP and the
  wubi.exe never did launch.

  I then performed a retest with a Natty final image to be sure my
  memory wasn't failing me.

  So, unless this change was intentional, probably Evan Dandrea needs to
  have a look at what may have changed.

  To be honest I remember wondering during Natty testing why the user
  wasn't just prompted to insert the disc after booting into Windows?
  That would save a fresh download for those who have limited download
  plans or slow networks.
