Comment 82 for bug 365881

Running Windows XP Home Edition, SP3. Encountered the dreaded pyrun.exe error. After using the "click through" workaround, I was prompted as expected to reboot into Ubuntu and let the installation complete. At 28% the installation froze, and after a reboot to finish the installation, I was given an error that the NTFS file system was corrupted, and to run a chkdsk /f through Windows.

Went back into Windows, did as was requested...uninstalled Ubuntu properly to attempt a clean install. When running the WUBI installer AFTER running the chkdsk /f; I received no further pyrun.exe errors. I checked different versions, tried loading off a CD, USB, and a mounted .ISO from a virtual drive. No further pyrun.exe errors at all. This may be something to look into. Thanks!
