Simulated App Store prevents Apple's new OSX 10.6.6 App Store from launching

The identifier for the SimFinger simulated iOS App Store appears to be preventing the new Apple OSX 10.6.6 App Store from launching. Here's the error:

Process:         App Store [574]
Path:            /Users/my_user_name/Downloads/atebits-SimFinger-325d0b5/Fake/SimFinger/SimAppCollection/FakeApps/FakeAppStore/App Store.app/App Store
Identifier:      com.yourcompany.App_Store
Version:         ??? (???)
Code Type:       X86 (Native)
Parent Process:  launchd [282]

My guess is that it doesn't like the identifier namespaced to App_Store but, again, that's just a guess. Moving the SimFinger folder to the trash allowed Apple's App Store to launch.

Any chance you're accidentally launching the fake App Store app in the simfinger fake apps section (like I did at first)?

Hadn't thought of that but that would make sense. I definitely remember the new Mac App Store icon showing up in Spotlight when I was launching it but that doesn't necessarily mean I was launching the correct app. Here's a screenshot of the crash: http://twitpic.com/3njhf3
