Please see log to get more information about the error.

e.g.

There is no existing ISO and no internet connection. If there is a working internet connection, the log contains also the tried links to download the ISO.

I tried to manually download the files but I can not access to the files from the link:

Is it ought to be : http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04.5/ ?

But links within metalink file on Ubuntu release site are wrong.

You can download http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04.6/ubuntu-16.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso instead and try to install a pre-downloaded ISO file

Nethertheless, I will create new Wubiuefi releases for 16.04.6 and also for 14.04.6 for the latest point releases of 16.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS.

Done.

For 16.04: 16046r333
For 14.04: I have not created a new exe file until now. If someone need the change it is possible to replace data/isolist.ini within wubi.exe by the new data/isolist.ini
