Can't download xcode 4.1

I just upgraded to Lion, and have been trying to install Xcode 4.1


I get this error message when I select the "install" from within the app store.


"The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."


Please help!😢


I can download other apps from within the app store just fine.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Hi,


I had the same issue on Lion and was able to fix it. This was the related error I saw in /var/log/system.log:


Jul 23 16:22:45 macboek13 App Store[399]: FRPurchaseManager: Preflight operation for 448457090 failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.appstore Code=0 "The product distribution file could not be verified.

You should check your system.log to see wheter you see a similar error. I deleted the /var/folders/c0/t8bcf_yd7t18mppns6bdzv480000gn/C/com.apple.appstore/448457090/p reflight.pfpkg file and was able to install Xcode again.


Cheers,


Eric
