Did you try to force quit iTunesHelper ? I know that it interfers with the installation of XCode 4.1

The root cause of the failure will likely be at the very end of the install.log file

use this on the terminal prompt to see the last few lines:

tail /var/log/install.log

Something is wrong within the installer package. This specifically:

"The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format."} {

NSFilePath = "/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/Cleanup At Startup/PKInstallSandbox-tmp/Root"

I would run it again, just in case, if not, perhaps something corrupted during download.

Sorry about that. try fixing permissions.
