Need some help installing XCode 4.2 for Snow Leopard
I've just purchased an iOS developer account to download Xcode 4.2 for snow leopard,
but I cannot get it to install correctly. I also see the "The installation failed" screen
after choosing my installation location.
I've tried most of the solutions I found online, like setting my system clock back a year,
deleting my 3.x.x Xcode installation, making a temporary admin account to install,
but nothing has worked yet.
Here are some troublesome lines I pulled out of my install.log file for reference, though
I cannot tell what they might mean. Any advice or help will be appreciated.
