I continue to get this error each time I try to install xcode: "Xcode failed to download, use the purchases page to try again"

This is with the newest OSX 10.10.3.

I found this thread: Xcode failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again

I tried the two possible solutions:

1. Resetting the App Store app via "Debug --> Reset Application" does nothing as far as I can tell (there's no visual feedback that selecting that option does anything).
2. I tried to find the plist file in /private/var/folders/, but the directory there is empty.

I've tried deleting xcode, reinstalling, etc, etc. I found this crash report via system log which...seems bad...seg fault?:
