I am trying to install a dual boot with windows 7. Old wubi does the job but i have password problems. It doesn't accept my password after setup. I chose password from wubi . I had to install twice to see if i did something wrong. It just doesn't accept. I can only login as a guest and it doesn't give many permission.

One thing is suspicious. I have access the settings of ubuntu from windows, so i can see user name and encrypted password. Even i choose the same password on two install encrypted passwords are different.

I know it is EOL product but what is going on with Wubi? How do i install this with something similar to wubi?

Solution: Old Wubi versions have bugs but i have found a solution from a forum post at ubuntuforums.org i can't find the same post but i have the links to patched files. This files are working. I tried the wubi from this link and worked.

Your password issue is a problem of outdated Wubi versions. If it is your wish to use an old Wubi version that works without password issue, try lastest version for 12.04: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/wubi.exe

In your case (Windows is not in UEFI mode) it should work.
