SUMMARY

Xcode 4.3.x versions are compatible with Mac OS Lion 10.7.3, specifically Xcode 4.3.2 is recommended. Users have reported issues with Xcode 4.5.1, which is incompatible with this OS version. The installation process can lead to confusion, particularly with the difference between the 1.98GB and 1.4GB DMG files, where the larger file is a separate disk image that does not install correctly. To resolve installation issues, users should ensure they are using the correct version and follow proper installation procedures.

Hello, I mistook downloding xcode 4.5.1 that is incompatible with my lion 10.7.3, which version of xcode should work with my mac os anyway ? should xcode 4.32 be the right choice ? Thank you.

It works with the mentioned version too. But after I successfully installed Xcode on my machine and rebooted it, there is no XCode link created at all in the Applications folder. I have to run the downloaded dmg file again to see it popping up. But later it'd disappear once I power of my machine. Is there a solution to this tiny problem ?

Edit: it seems I don't understand about the difference between the dmg file of size 1.98GB and another one of size 1.4GB, i guess this is probably the problem. I downloaded and installed 1.98GB dmg and it stays as a separate disk image the second time I run it.
 
You should be able to install any of the 4.3.x releases. You can find older releases of Xcode here (needs free account): http://connect.apple.com/
