It's impossible to run apport-collect since system is unusable i.e. it's not possible to get to console. I'll try changing some VM parameters to see if there's something else causing the issue. Unfortunately I don't have access to real hardware running Windows XP.

Do you happen to know if this also happens with other versions of Ubuntu?

I retried with Lubuntu and get the same error. However 64 bit version works perfectly. Might be that there is some particular issue with combination of 64 bit host and 32 bit VM.

Thanks for your report.

Is it an installation or an upgrade ? Which version of Wubi.exe and Ubuntu did you install ? Could you please describe the steps you followed until you reach this crash ?

Thanks in advance.

This is a new install. I have Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) in which I'm running Windows XP SP3 32 bit within Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.18. I was installing Wubi Precise in order to test upgrade to Quantal from Wubi.
When running wubi under Windows 7 (so on real hardware) everything is fine. However, when I try to run Wubi install from VM WinXP then I get errors from the screenshot that I attached in original report.

Wubi was downloaded from here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

This is the testcase I was executing:
http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/WubiUpgrade

Strange thing is that I also tested wubi install from Win 7 64bit VM and there also everything works fine i.e. no errors. It seems that this error is triggered only within WinXP 32bit VM.
