When installing Xcode from mac AppStore, where is the DMG?

With the new requirement to install Xcode from mac AppStore, i would like to locate the install package (.dmg) and archive it somewhere.

Use case 1 : got 100+ workstations, dont want(need) to download 100+ times.

Use case 2 : I archive, ship, and later End-of-life a product built with Xcode 4.1.1. A premium customer requires an urgent bug fix, I would like to temporarily install a few workstations with THAT Xcode.

tia.

btw, same goes for Lion, or whatever future feline Apple may release.

Where does Xcode get installed on Mac?

In Finder, select the Go pull-down menu, and select Applications. Or just use the short-cut key Command-Shift-A while Finder is active. This should open a new Finder window, showing all the Applications installed on your machine. Look for the XCode icon in the Applications folder.

Does Xcode come preinstalled on Mac?

It's not pre-installed, but you can install it from the Apple developer website or the App Store on your Mac.

in case you download Xcode from AppStore, Pablo is right.

However, in case you want the "good old" download of the .dmg file from Apple's website, you have to login at the Apple Developer Download website (previously called: ADC Program Assets). You will find various versions of Xcode under "Developer Tools".

It's usually under Applications folder. The program is called Install XCode. You can copy and use that in your 100+ workstations.
