Hi Robert,

Could you possibly attach an image in another email? I have never heard 
of or seen this error before. It seems quite odd, since you are asked to 
create the username/password before installing. Whenever Wubi opens up, 
if you do not have another installation, you will be asked to choose 
between Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, or Mythbuntu. After 
selecting, you are asked to provide a username and password, these are 
not your Launchpad login. This should be something you create while in 
this window, which has nothing to do with your Launchpad account. After 
choosing those, you are asked to provide how much disk space you want to 
provide for Ubuntu. Then, (I hope I have not forgotten anything), after 
clicking the "Install" button, or something similar, Wubi should 
download and install *buntu (whichever flavour you have chosen). I hope 
this helps!
