You should note, that installing XCode 4.2 is slightly tricky for now! Current supplied version of Xcode is 4.3, so you need to download v4.2 from Apple's developer portal. Just register yourself as developer (Safari dev program for ex) and download Xcode 4.2 (or 4.2.1) from additional downloads from Mac developer program from developer.apple.com.
