Program compatibilty assistant warning after Unetbootin makes bootable USB
I have a windows 7 laptop (x64). I am trying to make a bootable USB with ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso and Unetbootin. I am picking the 'Diskimage' option and providing the path to the iso.
Unetbootin finishes normally but after it exits I get a warning from Windows along the lines of "This program might not have installed correctly". I am wondering whether it is safe to ignore this warning and use the bootable USB to install Ubuntu 14.04 on my hardware?

Yes sure, It is just an additional program compatibility feature in windows. You can ignore that error safely.

when installing ubuntu 18.04 server, from a bootable usb, it shows a warning that the usb was created by unetbootin and it says that users have been reporting that it might not work; actually, I found that unetbootin is a more intuitive method to create a bootable usb than the alternative method in the ubuntu doc;
the only time a bootable usb made with unetbootin did not work for me, was when I selected something other than 0 (zero) for the number of megabytes to preserve state between boots; as long as you leave that set to 0 (default) you can make a bootable usb with unetbootin faster, easier and it works.
