Xcode 4.2 crashing on launch

Question

I just joined developer program, downloaded Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Upon the first launch it's crashing with this error:

Xcode encountered an internal logic error. Choose "Continue" to continue running Xcode in an inconsistent state. Choose "Crash" to halt Xcode and file a bug with Crash Reporter. Choosing "Crash" will result in the loss of all unsaved data.

I think there was Xcode installed on this Mac before but I can't see it in Applications anywhere, and I launch Xcode by just searching for it spotlight. It comes up as being in /Developer/Applications

What is going on? Has anyone seen this error before? Is there a workaround?

UPDATE:

I've clicked continue several times just to see what happens, and Xcode did start. Now I am wondering if I should just continue using this or look for a root cause of this problem. Something tells me that the underlaying issue will manifest itself in weird ways later.

UPDATE 2:

Nothing works, just hangs. going to uninstall xcode with

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

and try reinstall

Answer 1

The solution was:

1. Remove all dev tools sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

2. Restart Mac (possibly optional, but I did anyway)

3. Reinstall Xcode
