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

I have tried 3 times to install XCode on a clean OS X Lion - brand new machine. It sticks at the same place every time popping up an installation alert: Please close the following applicaiton: iTunes. But iTunes iisn't open.

If I open iTunes and close it the alert doesn't go away. There is no way to dismiss the alert either. The only way seems to be to reboot. If you quit the installer the alert stays on screen.

I ran across Xcode 4.1 not wanting to get through installation.

This is what worked for me.

1/ Fire up Activity Monitor and check that iTunes, iTunes Helper and maybe some Xcode stuff is not running

2/ Remove Previous Xcode (4.0.xxx Snow Leopard in my case) This step is optional I'd say.

3/ open Terminal and:

• cd /Aplications

• sudo open Xcode Install.app

• Install Xcode as usual

• Enjoy ;-)

Hope it works for you too.

Regards,

Robby

What worked for me after the app store failed to download XCode, is download the .dmg from Apple Developer's website, and use that to install XCode. But...

1) Took me a while AFTER loading up the pkg, the XCode installer could not complete saying I already installed it

2) I finally found the XCode installer, it is in the Applications folder, NOT in the launchpad

3) 70~80% of the way through it asked me to close iTunes, and from this forum, I went and did a >top in the terminal and then >kill ###, where the ### correspond to the number next to iTuneHelper

Then XCode installed successfully, >which gcc shows

/usr/bin/gcc

Thanks for the solution. It worked for me too.

Hopefully this means it is an easy fix for Apple to implement on the download.

Here is annoter problem

ITune isn't the problem

If you look m'y first post, you CAN see

the dmg beta for developer is ok for me but the installer from AppStore isn't ok

The error message is in m'y first post

Aug 4, 2011 11:00 AM in response to jimweast

Looking in my install log I noticed that prior to the Code=112 error there was an indication that "root is not in the sudoers file.". I checked this ( go to /etc ) and found that it had been moved to "sudoers~orig" and a new empty file put in its place. Removing the empty file "sudoers" and doing "mv sudoers~orig sudoers" allowed a successful installation. Note, the sudoers file is the problem you cannot "sudo the commands above. You have to log in as superuser ( su at the command line). If you have not set a superuser account up yet go to System/Library/CoreServices and find "Directory Utility". Under "Edit" you will find "Enable Root User".

Hope this helps...

I just did that, same error though :-(

I did not do a full re-download, just an update from the App-store.

Of interest: the processes uninstalld and com.apple.dt.InstallXcodeHelper keep consuming CPU time, even after Xcode installer is closed.

Quote: "

Downloaded the free 4.1.1 updater from App Store.

After completion of download, found in Applications 'Install Xcode" 4.1.1.

Launched it, it started "Updating files...", the progression bar reach to half an inch of completion, and remains stuck there.

It has been at least 45 minutes.

Activity Monitor shows processes:

com.apple.dt.InstallXcodehHelper User: root % CPU 0.0 Kind: Intel (64 bit)

Install Xcode User: user (not root) % CPU: toggles from 2.1 to 2.2, back to 2.1 - appears to be stuck Kind: Intel (64 bit).

I am tempted to force quit the two above processes, in Activity Monitor, and try to reinstall.

Any ideas before I bamboozle something?

Okay, I did a fresh install of Lion from a DVD on a separate partition. Once at the desktop, I copied Install Xcode.app from the /Applications folder of the other installation.

Guess what: Xcode installed just fine. So it is not the downloaded file.
