I am trying to install Ubuntu on my 32 bit Windows 7 machine. These are the steps I followed:

Create a partition using the disk manager.

Download Wubi.

Run Wubi as administrator.

I get the following error message after the download is complete:

Extraction failed with code: 2 For more information, please see the log file: C:\Windows\Temp\wubi-12.04-rev266.log

These are the lines in the log file where the error messages were seen.

  12-31 20:12 ERROR TaskList: Non fatal error [Errno 14] HTTP –  New_account 8 mins ago    

    Error 404: Not Found in task download Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py", line 197, in call File "\lib\wubi\backends\win32\backend.py", line 450, in extract_diskimage Exception: Extraction failed with code: 2 12-31 21:58 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist 12-31 21:58 DEBUG TaskList: # Finished tasklist 12-31 21:58 ERROR root: Extraction failed with code: 2

Please tell me where I am doing it wrong.

From the error message you have quoted, I can understand that few of the files required for the Wubi installer are missing. That's the reason 404 error message pops up. Check the link here with similar issue which might be helpful.
