I think you have to have the ISO in the Wubi Folder, I dunno if it works
with a cd. Have you tried checking the checksum of the ISO file? To make
sure everything is all ok?

Otherwise, I don't know what to suggest, apart from installing Ubuntu on
a dedicated partition, but I assume that's not what you want.

Have you checked where Wubi is installed extensively for logs? Maybe
once you kill the Wubi Installer it'll generate a log, but I assume
that'll leave you with a half finished Ubuntu installation.
