[Bug 1471344] Re: The wubi.exe provided on the 15.04 and 15.10 install ISOs

[Andreas]

So, there is a (great) community member who did the whole job...
So, Wubi can be used... even with Windows 7, 8.x and 10... and with UEFI...
So, there IS a solution... it works... you just have to grab it... Why not just doing it?

Wubi was always one of my favourite things on ubuntu.
- No VirtualMachine ("Haha! That lame ubuntu of you is sooooo slow! I knew it!")
- Uses the actual (and not virtual) Hardware of the PC
- No (dangerous) partitioning ("What? I just wanted to test this ubuntu and now my Windows has less space?" or:"No, I dont have a backup...")
- Test it (quickly). Play with it. - Love it: Install it on a partition and tell all your friends. / Hate it: Just delete it and ask Cortana for dinner.

Okay. If it will be removed from cdimage ... okay.
But maybe you just could leave it as a simple (updated) download option - for the (thankful) freaks?
:-)

@hakuna_matata: Thank you for your wonderful job. Works like a charm.

Title:
  The wubi.exe provided on the 15.04 and 15.10 install ISOs

Status in Ubuntu CD Images:
  Fix Released
Status in Wubi:
  New

Bug description:
  Near as I can tell, at worst WUBI isn't supported, or if it is, only
  for Windows 7 and earlier, and probably only for versions 14.04 or
  earlier.  What I have seen in a couple of places is that Wubi is on
  the 15.04 iso but it seems to try to install 14.10.  In other words,
  mismatched.  What is the official word on Wubi support?  It shouldn't
  be in the 15.10 iso unless it actually works.
