5 years ago [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: 'C:\wubildr'
First of all, it is a common Python error message but it is not really a common Wubi error message.
In most cases the reason for the Python error message are invalid characters within filename. But for Wubi(uefi) the filename 'C:\wubildr' does not depend on your Wubi configuration. So it should occur on other systems, too. But as far as I know, there are no further reports.
So maybe the reason are some settings for drive C: . e.g. Is drive C: your system drive as expected by Wubi(uefi)?
Hi, I trying to install ubuntu16.0.04 LTS in windows 10. I downloaded ubuntu lts iso from http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ Installed wubi16046r333 installer.
But I am getting the following error invalid mode (wb) or filename
