I already downloaded the appropriate ISO for my laptop, it was about 1GB. I partitioned 30GB for Ubuntu, extracted the ISO into a folder on my Windows drive, ran the wubi.exe file in the main folder, set it to install in my new U partition for Ubuntu, and halfway through installation it tries to download the ISO that I already just downloaded! Is there any way to install it offline? Is it not finding the other contents in the folder? I'm in a hotel with 1Mbps internet right now, so I'm not able to do another 1GB file.

  • Which Ubuntu version did you download ? 14.04(.3) ? 15.04 ? For 14.04 your question is a possible duplicate of http://askubuntu.com/q/661729/386067 – ngng Aug 16 '15 at 05:39
  • I don't think 1GB is enough... I don't know the sizes at the moment, but what you downloaded could be just a network installer. Also, to my knowledge Wubi isn't supported anymore. I'd suggest burning a DVD with an image. It's the best way not to rely on installing from within Windumb. ;) – Peter Nerlich Aug 16 '15 at 09:12
  • @Peter Nerlich: The size of the desktop iso is about 1GB comparing with http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty or http://releases.ubuntu.com/vivid column "size". – ngng Aug 16 '15 at 12:28

There is another way if u have a USB stick or a dvd. burn the iso to the dvd or make a bootable usb using rufus and then install it. Here is a great tutorial to get ur things done.

  • I don't have a physical USB stick on me, before when installing Ubuntu on another machine a while ago, it never required to download the ISO. Is there any other way? – Shane Smiskol Aug 16 '15 at 03:55
