In summary, the individual is questioning which version of Xcode is compatible with their Mac OS 10.7.3 and asks if 4.32 is the correct choice. They mention that the version they downloaded, 4.5.1, is not working and that even after installing successfully, the Xcode link disappears once they turn off their machine. They speculate that the issue may be related to the size of the downloaded dmg file and express confusion about the difference between a 1.98GB file and a 1.4GB file. Finally, they provide a link to older versions of Xcode that can be accessed with a free account.

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/
