Ubuntu wubi.exe installation

The Ubuntu CD contents look like these:
There is an executable named “wubi.exe”, which allows you installing Ubuntu alongside with an existing Windows system (dual-boot). However, many people experienced “no response”  problem after double clicking the wubi.exe. Some say this is because some of your drives contains non-English labels. However, this is not always the case. On my Windows I have all drives with English names, but I couldn’t get wubi.exe run.

The solution came from this post of Grizzly. Because there are several versions of Python installed on my Windows, and surely the PATH and PYTHONPATH are set with multiple values. Apparently wubi.exe is interfered by these environment variables. After setting them to empty, I got wubi.exe run! (In fact I only had to set PYTHONPATH to empty) Then you should see the picture below.
