Wubi Installer Error: The boot configuration data store could not be opened

I've recently been trying to install WUBI Ubuntu version 11.10 on my Win7 x64 laptop. It has, however, been failing to work. The installation itself seems to work fine, but at the very end, I get the following error: 

An error occurred:

Error executing command
>>command=C:\Windows\sysnative\bcdedit /create /d Ubuntu /application bootsector
>>retval=1
>>stderr=The boot configuration data store could not be opened.
The system cannot find the file specified.

>>stdout=

For more information see the log file:
..\local\temp\wubi-11.10-rev245.log

This sucks.

I proceeded to google this error, and found Wubi Installer Error: The boot configuration data store could not be opened , which details the exact same problem. However, I don't have any 100 meg partitions, nor any secret partitions, nor any partitions without drive letters. I don't even have C:\Boot folder (which is odd), and Win7 says it has no recoveries needing to be made. I tried reinstalling or repairing Win7 itself, thinking that perhaps that was the source of the glitch, but to no avail.

Please, someone help me.

  • Have you tried the answer that was ticked on the other wubi installer question you mentioned? 2. Did you write manually the above error or copy-pasted it? Is your windows folder "C:\Winows" or "C:\Windows"?

  • I wrote it from the error dialogue box, from which i couldn't copy text from. I should've copied it from the log file, now that I think about it.

    I ran WUBI as administrator, and the answer to the link I supplied doesn't work for the aforementioned reasons.

  • That is, the other question told the user to run WUBI as admin, and the ticked answer was to "online" a volume of 100 megs without a drive letter. Since I lack any partition, drive, or volume that qualifies in any way, I don't see how to do that. (And yes, I did try many times before giving up on that.) Mayhaps I'm doing it wrong? – North Dec 17 '11 at 21:21
  • OP are you still looking for an answer? If so, you may need to repost your question as this is flagged for closure. Regards, – Ringtail Mar 25 '12 at 18:33
