archive warning: he bundle itunessoftwareservice could not be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources

Question

while trying to archive for submission I am getting this warning, if I try to do the validation or distribution, they hang. I am using Xcode4.3.2 The msg below suggests: try reinstalling the bundle - how to do that? I did not find any useful suggestion among the existing posts

Looks like re-installing xcode (or upgrading it) fixes the problem. Still puzzled why did it happen. I have ignored the offer to upgrade postponing it until the submission is done for few days, maybe Apple changed some links as it refers to itunes bundle? Anyhow it works now.
