iOS Over-the-Air mobile Ad-Hoc downloading: "Could not Extract Archive" error

Question

I am trying to download my application over the web on my iOS 4.2 device.

I have verified that the application I have built installs and runs correctly on my device through XCode - i.e. The application should be built and signed correctly. I package it through "Build and Archive" and "Share..." it - then upload the .plist and .ipa files to my server, which I have the correct links to, etc..etc...

When I try to install it (over-the-air), it says "Waiting...", then "Loading..." then "Installing...", then I get an error: "Unable to Download 'myAppName'" - (Done) (Retry).

Checking the console on my iPhone, I get the following:

Sat Jan 8 18:30:50 unknown installd[26090] : 2ff66000 extract_package: Could not extract archive Sat Jan 8 18:30:50 unknown installd[26090] : 2ff66000 stage_package: Could not extract /var/tmp/install_staging.ReUsa4/foo.zip to /var/tmp/install_staging.ReUsa4/foo_extracted Sat Jan 8 18:30:50 unknown installd[26090] : 2ff66000 MobileInstallationInstall: Could not stage the package Sat Jan 8 18:30:50 unknown installd[26090] : 2ff66000 handle_install: API failed Sat Jan 8 18:30:50 unknown com.apple.itunesstored[26087] : MobileInstallationInstall: failed with -1

Looks like a bunch of problems "Extracting Archive". Anyone know what this means? Any ideas???

UPDATE: I the Diawi web site to install this - and it worked fine. So, it's not a code signing issue.

Are you positive that the URL you entered when you did the Enterprise distribution, points to your IPA file? The fact it is showing foo.zip in there seems to point in that direction.
