WUBI not present in 16.04 download

Question

I recently downloaded 16.04 onto a CD, but system will not boot from CD as WUBI is not present in download. Any ideas as to how to correct this?

Solution

I read somewhere a while back that it was a choice by the Ubuntu devs. Nothing you can do about it.

From the looks of it, Ubuntu 15.04 is the last ISO that comes with Wubi, but fortunately we'll get a better tool in the future.

Wubi is not necessary to boot from CD. But there are community supported versions if you need Wubi. see Wubi info

For Ubuntu 16.04 and Higher, Use Wubi by Hakuna Matata To Install Wubi on Windows Laptop/Computers without using a USB Stick. Wubi Hakuna Matata download from the wiki: [github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi/wiki] If you want to do other Linux OS, you can use Unetbootin or Rufus
