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.

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".

Once you are logged into apple developer portal you can navigate to following link to view all development resources available for downloads as .dmg file, it includes XCODE 5 too.

If you find the aforementioned Install Xcode package and ctrl-click on it, choose Show Package contents to reveal the .dmg file. It's in there somewhere.

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

Here's a question on apple.stackexchange.com where you will find a similar problem/answer.
