What's with the title of that window and the icon in it? Anyway, in Installer.app's Window menu, you'll find an option to show the install log. What does it say? For what it's worth, although this has worked for me and others, it's remotely possible that Apple changed the Xcode 3.2.6 package on their site or 10.7's Installer to prevent this, if they think it's leading to a support nightmare. – Ken Thomases
please see the update for the installation log, hope that would help to solve the error – neztreh

I solved this error by setting my clock to 01-01-2012.

It's weird, but installation was completed successfully after that.

Finally, I got this working. This error "The operation couldn’t be completed. CSSMERR_TP_CERT_EXPIRED" point me to this site Fixing packages with expired signatures.

Steps:

  1. Flattened the disc image using this script flatpkgfixer.py
  2. Mount my disc image
  3. Execute this command in Terminal, export COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1
  4. And open "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg"

And XCode 3.2.6 installs successfully on my Lion 10.7.3. Cheers!

Setting the date back to 2011 worked for me. The exact error I saw in the log was IFDInstallController 7912F940 state = 7

Run Software Update. It should offer the "Apple Software Installer Update". Install that. I think it should fix the issue.

I achieved to install it by setting the system date to year 2011. And it worked like a charm!
