Mac – Xcode 5.1 won’t launch — “being updated” — but already installed

mac-appstoresoftware-updatexcode

trying to launch Xcode 5.1 and keep getting "Xcode is being updated". It was updated last week and shows as installed. Screen shots to illustrate. Any ideas? I went to the developer portal, but it takes you to the App Store (I was hoping there was a seperate install). Many thanks. Project is stuck at the moment.
