By any chance did you have python installed manually ? If so try uninstalling python.
Here are some alternative things to try: *askubuntu.com/questions/137813/wubi-does-not-start-in-win7-64-bit

Sorted the problem.Checked the log file and Wubi was checking the files in a different iso on some other partition.Proceeded with the install but now it is not giving me the option of dual boot.It is straight up starting Windows 7.Why ?

Okay that problem also solved using EasyBCD. Now how do I install proper nvidia drivers ?

Okay done that too.
