Jul 21, 2012 Hi, I'm looking into giving Ubuntu 12 a try, and noted the Windows Installer method. But, if I use this, and specify the install HDD as other than C, will that still work? Also, how do I go about getting the 64-bit version to install via Windows Installer method? Is there a better way of doing this, where I end up with a dual booting system, with Windows 7 64-bit on my C: drive and Ubuntu on.
Installing the 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus) in Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.1.14 running in Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 (CurrentBuild 7601) on a ThinkPad T460 model 20FNCTO1WW with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6600U CPU. Wubi is an installer for the Linux Ubuntu distribution that allows you to enjoy this operating system on your computer without having to partition the hard drive or burn Ubuntu on a CD. Wubi is similar to Ubuntu Setup, although in this case it's not possible to select the version of Ubuntu that you want to install. Wubi is a Ubuntu installer for Windows users that will bring you into the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu Linux as any other application.

I am trying to develop for Android on Ubuntu but it requires a 64 bit version. Can Wubi install a 64 bit version or do I need to do a regular install?

Wubi will automatically download and install the 64-bit version of Ubuntu if you are running Windows 64-bit.
