No, you can not _install_ Xc 3, but you can use (or move) an existing installation.

I'd like to know what is the easiest way to keep my Xcode 3.2.6 when upgrading my computer for Lion. Does the Lion installation leave the developer folder in place, or should I first move it away to keep it, perhaps archived?

And my reasoning was: 3.2.6 is the last of its kind, there won't be any future updates.

That's the difference between present tense and future tense.

People with legacy projects depend on it.

Also (some) developers, like me, who want their apps to be backward compatible to 10.5 or earlier.

Nobody depends on Xc 4.0.2

3.2.6 works just fine.

I assume the logic is, that there IS an Update for Xc 4.x, whereas there is no update for 3.x

Next week I'll try to run Xc2 ;)

I don't know what you say here. There was an update for 3.x, it's called 3.2.6. So are you saying that there is no update *for Lion*? Or are you saying that there *will* be no update for 3.x?

The real question really is whether one *can* install 3.2.6 on Lion, using the Install Xcode.app for 3.2.6 (that many already have on disk somewhere). Before Lion came out officially some here said it couldn't, so can anyone confirm this now that the Lion is out of the cage?

Will Xcode 3.2.6 still work if I upgrade to Lion ? For various reasons I can't upgrade to Xcode 4 for the forseeable future.

Also are there any solutions for testing PowerPC compatibility on Lion now that Rosetta has been dropped ?

Thanks,
