I downloaded Xcode 4.1 for lion (xcode_4.1_for_lion.dmg) from the Apple Developer site instead of installing it through the App Store. (because we want to download it once, burn it, and install from disk instead of killing our network bandwidth).
Problem: It appeared to run correctly, but then nothing was available. If I tried to re-run it, it wouldn’t let me pick a drive because it said it was already installed. Looking at it from the app store, it would not recognize the install.
Solution: Go into your Applications folder and look for “Install Xcode.” Why in the world would it just install the installer and not tell you to go run it is beyond me. It hasn’t been done like this before… why assume people would know what to do next after the install would say it’s done.

About codeprostitute
These are sordid details of my life as a code prostitute...
I’ve been developing for the web since 1995. I started programming on my Radio Shack MC-10 (TV not included) in 1985 on BASIC (yuk). I got my first solo gig doing FoxPro development in 1992. After that, I did work in mainframe development. I got my first exposure to Unix via SCO Xenix.
I worked at several .com startups, some were acquired by companies including eBay and Google. After some painful crashes, I acquired some clients and started a programming / consulting business. I did work for some interesting companies and had lots of adventures.
Now I work for a (well established) company as a technical architect and am having a blast.
What you’ll find at this blog are some of my adventures with clients and code snippets I found useful.
