The official Intel Linux Graphics Installer is now no longer supported for 12.04 (support for 13.04 will end when 13.10 is released).

Near the bottom of this link, it is said that:

Ubuntu* 13.04 was released in late April 2013. Support for Ubuntu* 12.04 effectively ended when the Intel® Linux* Graphics Installer version 1.0.1 was released (20 May 2013).

Unless you have a specific reason for using the latest drivers, your system should work fine with the default drivers.

The Intel Linux Graphics Installer for 12.04 is no longer supported and using it is discouraged.

The 12.04 repo could be manually added (it's still hosted here), but it will not be updated to the latest version and may be removed without notice. Adapt the instructions here if you still want to use the outdated 12.04 repo (not recommended).
