Launching wubiuefi from D:\ causes crashing

Hi all

I'd just tried wubiuefi. My "Download" repository is redirected to D:\Download.

Firstly I put both wubi20043r343.exe and kubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso in D:\Download, in each run, the GUI simply disappears after the installing starts. Then I tried to put the files in C:\ and everything was OK.

BTW, I really like this software.

There is a log, even if GUI disappears. see FAQ.

I assume that default download folder on drive D: contains also another ISO file which is not usable for Wubiuefi.

@hakuna-m Unfortunately, the log doesn't contain any useful message concerning the crash, and there are no other files except for wubiuefi exe and the iso.

The log simply ends after some lines like below:

12-28 13:55 DEBUG  Distro:   checking whether N:\ is a valid Wubi SHA256 CD
12-28 13:55 DEBUG  Distro:     does not contain N:\casper\filesystem.squashfs

The log should contain information about drive D:

e.g.

WindowsBackend: drive=Drive(D: hd 12345.1234567 mb free ntfs)

and checks with the ISO on D: drive

Distro: checking Ubuntu ISO D:\Downloads\ubuntu-desktop-amd64.iso

If the log contains no drive D:, either the file system is not supported for Wubi or there is a permission issue.
