Code overview

/src/winui : Thin ctypes wrapper around win32 native graphical user interface

/src/pylauncher : Makes python code into an executable, the Python script is examined and all the dependencies are added to an LZMA archive, then an executable header is concatenated to the archive that decompresses it and runs the script using the Python DLL

/src/wubi : The main Wubi application, the code is split between backend and frontend, where each runs in its own thread. The two interact via a tasklist object, where the frontend usually runs a tasklist which is a set of backend tasks. Backends and Frontends are platform specific. For now only the Windows platform is supported.

/data : Settings for Wubi branding and customization

/po : Translations

/bin : Other binary files required at runtime (will be compiled at a later stage)

Wubi tasks

Wubi performs the following tasks:

Fetches information about the running system which will be used during installation

Checks that the minimum installation requirements are met

Retrieves required user information via a GUI

Looks for available local CDs and ISO files

Downloads the ISO if one is required, using Bittorrent and an HTTP download manager

Checks the ISO/CD MD5 sums and the MD5 signature

Extracts the kernel and initrd from the ISO

Adds a new boot entry to the existing windows bootloader

Prepares a preseed file to be used during the Linux-side installation

Allocates space for the virtual disk files

The actual installation is performed within Linux after rebooting the machine.

Customization

Edit the files in data as appropriate and build your image

You will need to provide an ISO that is similar to the Ubuntu ISO and in particular it must have .disk/info formatted like .disk/info in the Ubuntu ISO

You must provide a webserver with metalink file, metalink file MD5 checksums and signatures for the MD5 sums

Add your signing key to data/trustedkeys.gpg

Replace the generated dummy keys in .key with your signing keys for Secure Boot

On the Linux side, the distribution must be capable of booting and rebooting off a loop file, perform an automatic installation and accept the special boot parameters that indicate the local preseed file and ISO image to boot from.
