At this time, Wubi cannot install Ubuntu to its own partition, and it cannot use free [[hard disk]] space to install it. <ref>[http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/faq.html Wubi - FAQ]</ref> Users interested in installing Ubuntu to its own partition should simply use the official [[Ubuntu (Linux distribution)|Ubuntu]] installer.
 
The main developers of Wubi are Geza Kovacs <ref>[https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs launchpad]</ref>, known as tuxcantfly on the forums, who started the project, <ref>[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305109 Ubuntuforums]</ref> created the initial versions, and wrote the specifications <ref>[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe Wubi Specs]</ref>, Agostino Russo <ref>[https://launchpad.net/~ago launchpad]</ref>, known as ago on the forums, who contributes to lupin (the loop-installer), Oliver Mattos <ref>[https://launchpad.net/~omattos launchpad]</ref>, known as Hello1024 on the forums, and one known as Ecology2007 <ref>[https://launchpad.net/~ecology2007 launchpad]</ref> who contribute to the windows-based frontend (wubi). The main development occurs at [[http://launchpad.net | launchpad.net]] <ref>[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/windows-installer]</ref> <ref>[launchpad.net/lupin]</ref> <ref>[launchpad.net/wubi]>, and is lead by the Lupin Team <ref>[https://launchpad.net/~lupin-team launchpad]</ref>.
 
The project has inspired the creation of other Windows-based Linux installers, such as the Windows-based Debian Installer <ref>[http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ Windows-based Debian Installer]</ref>.
