I have done two uninstalls of Xcode using the terminal, and then reinstalled using the disk image I downloaded from ADC. Before installing from the disk image, I checked it with Disk Utility; it verified it as being OK. 

I created a new project to run and have the same problem. Following is the code from the failed build: 

Building target "cocoaNotepad2" of project "cocoaNotepad2" with configuration "Debug" — (1 error)

    cd /cocoaNotepad2

    /Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/copystrings --validate --inputencoding UTF-16 --outputencoding UTF-16 English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings --outdir /cocoaNotepad2/build/Debug/cocoaNotepad2.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj

Thank you for the test project which  you sent me to run. It also has the same problem. Here is the code from the failed build for that:

    cd /Users/pdenlinger/Desktop/Test

Must say that this is a very consistent error.

Paul,

Sorry to see you have so much problems with Xcode. One thing I noticed from the output below is that you have your project directory under /Developer. I don't know if that would cause problems or not. I would try moving that to your home directory, for example.

The other thing also is to just uninstall Xcode and reinstall it as someone suggest.   If you read the /Developers/About Xcode Tools.pdf, it'll have instructions to do a complete uninstall.

$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

Re-install Xcode and hope that fixes your problem. We definitely have different problems.

When you bring up Xcode, you should be able to create a new Cocoa project. If you build it, it should bring up a blank window. I'm attaching a test project that you can try.

I have installed Xcode on the system drive; sorry I was unclear. At first I tried building the project on a separate partition (HD2) but when I got problems, I tried to do build the same project build on the same partition Xcode sits on. I got the same error.

I have tried to get to copystrings in the terminal; here is the error message I get:

This is the same message as I'm getting in Xcode. For some reason, InfoPlist.strings is not getting built.

Try building the project using the command line version of Xcode. If this works, then your Xcode install should be ok. For example, I have a Cocoa example project in the Test directory.

jim@nomad[~]$ cd Test

where Test is the project's top directory.

jim@nomad[~/Test]$ xcodebuild -configuration Debug
