Wubi is the easiest tool to step into the Linux world, allowing Windows users to install Ubuntu with a single click. Oddly yesterday an installation failed with the following message:
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u’C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso
To fix the error you just need to directly download the Ubuntu iso and put the file in the directory where your Wubi is located. Now relaunch Wubi and everything will work fine.
I’m getting the error “Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameter 75b6bf7c 4″ and Window title says “Windows-No Disk.” This is with the iso file in the same directory as Wubi, and again running Wubi from the disk image file I opened with VirtualCloneDrive. What am I doing wrong? The OS is Windows XP SP3.
Glenn that error has little to do with the Ubuntu installation, apparently.
Same error on mine. I’m running Windows 7 Pro. I’m installing Ubuntu because Windows keeps freezing. I got a path to “C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Temp\wubi-9.10ubuntu1-rev160.log” and I opened it. I got the Errno 13 and found this site. Please help! I don’t get your post instructions.
It´s very rapid to download, but the installation it´s awful…very slow. I prefer Windows it´s expensive but it´s better and easier…Linux/Ubuntu, etc. has to change….
@Ubuntu User, Does Windows 7 freeze often? To install it just download the ISO and put it in the download directory where WUBI is located, than launch it.
@John Actually my installation took few minutes, it’s definitely faster than most OS installation. No question if you like Windows more, but considering that you run the installation once I can hardly see this as a problem.
how do you put ubuntu iso in the same directory as the wubi?
Just copying them in the same directory. By the way if you download these files using the same browser it will happen by default.
I have the same problem, and tried having the iso and wubi.exe in the same place, but wubi just ignores the iso and downloads it again. Suggestions?
Ole does it happen also if your computer has no internet connection? Actually the Wubi Guide reports just the same instructions.
How is this helpinjg at all?
Using the Ubuntu ISO file is exactly what I have done, the wubi installer is already in the same folder as the ubuntu installation files, that’s what it was in the first place. This annoying software of wubi doesn’t do me any good. I get those “Permission denied” errors when I try to install Ubuntu on my Win7 laptop. Either if I select to install within windows or select a boot-up full install (or demonstrate Ubuntu by restart).
Thomas check out if your laptop is listed among the netbooks tested with Ubuntu.
