Waste Mac App Store Preferences to reinstall app from Mac App Store

I had this problem with Xcode after installing Lion

found article HERE

MAS Update Bug
1. Quit the Mac App Store
2. Trash the following folders and files; (~ is your Home folder)

~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist

3. Restart your Mac
4. Open the Mac App Store
5. Log into your MAS account
