Problems with AD-HOC and iTunes 9 on Windows

[Wunk]

I'm having some serious issues with iTunes 9 on Windows and AD-HOC distribution.

I'm trying to run a beta with a select group of ~16 users, but I keep getting plagued that some users simply cannot install the app because iTunes keeps giving them 'the application blah was not installed on the iphone, because the application signature is not valid'

I've narrowed it down to it happening in these cases with Windows users running iTunes 9, I've had no complaints from Windows users running an older iTunes version so far.


Steps I've taken so far:

- Removed all profiles from ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
- Recreated the provisioning profile in the developer portal and imported these new profiles in xcode
- Rebuilt the App and sent the new version to the users, along with the updated .mobileprovision file
- Made the app into an .ipa file by dragging it in iTunes and pulling it out again and sending that around
- Let users restart their iTunes, iPhone, PC's

But still no go..

Now I have a nagging feeling that this isn't an error on my side, but that iTunes 9.x is somehow being the spoilsport here.

Anyone else noticed this or have some suggestions on what else to try ?

Did you have any luck figuring out your problem?

Nope, I ended up turning down a bunch of betatesters because of this.
