Error loading/installing iOS 5.0 Simulator in XCode 4.4.1

I'm new to iOS and Apple.

Just got XCode installed, but when I try to dowload/install iOS 5.0 Simulator using the 'Download' tab of XCode preferences, I get the following error consistently:

Failed to mount file://localhost/Users/reza/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads/Xcode.S DK.iPhoneSimulator.5.0-5.0.0.1.dmg at file://localhost/var/folders/bm/kz0d00lx18ncwq3fxyf50pn00000gn/T/attached-image -122057767f890c101413b3e8c64917b42f1eb792/: not recognized

What I'm doing wrong and how can I fix it, Please ?

I'm using Xcode 4.4.1 on OS X 10.8.1

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Log in as another user on that computer. Run Xcode from there and enable that sim download again to see if it works in that example...

Still no joy, do the basics. Run Disk Utility to check drive health and system permissions. Also confirm sufficient free space on your main drive.

Thnx for the suggestions,

I tried all of yours (logged in as a newer user, ran disk utility and everything was ok, and I have over 300GB free space on the SDD drive) but still have exactly the same problem!

Anyone else has any other ideas on how to solve this problem, PLEASE?
