Ad hoc distribution / .mobileprovision error...?

Using the Ad hoc distribution / .mobileprovision capability (with the test users required UDID already added to our Apple Dev account) our test user is dragging the .mobileprovision file onto his iPad listed in iTunes but is getting this error message: "xxx.mobileprovision was not copied to the iPad (xxxiPad) because it cannot be played on this iPad". Any ideas how to solve this so he can deploy our app onto his iPad?

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, Not sure of versions our tester has

Validate that the UDID of your test user is actually added in the .mobileprovision file, its easy to miss it.

Open the .mobileprovision file in a text editor and see the UDID that are inside it.

you should drag and drop the provisioning file into the library of the itunes then the .ipa file again to the library of the itunes. Then you have to sync your apps with the library then your application will be installed
