Sorry? What do you mean by 'launch Ubuntu'? Ubuntu is not application, it's operating system, you can't 'launch' it, you have to install it!

It depends on what you're downloading.

If you're downloading a CD image (a ".iso" file), you'll need to burn it to a CD and then install from the CD (try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto for more information). If you're downloading from here http://wubi-installer.org/ you should be able to run the application itself (it's an ".exe" file that will handle installing Ubuntu on Windows).

Can you help with this problem?
