iTunes not installing .ipa file

iphone itunes ad-hoc-distribution

I'm trying to install an app I coded on an iPhone using Ad Hoc distribution. I dragged the .mobileprovision file (associated with my iPhone UDID) to the "Apps" item under "Library" in iTunes (Windows). When I do so, nothing happens, no confirmation messages or errors. (Is there a way to know which .mobileprovision files are installed in iTunes?)

When I double-click the .ipa file, again nothing happens. But what is worse is that the app doesn't even appear under "Apps" in iTunes. I also tried to drag-and-drop it under "Apps" in iTunes but again nothing happens.

Did anyone else face this problem before?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Edit: I tried on another computer running Windows and the same version of iTunes and it works! Still not able to make it work on my computer though...

2). Compress this app file with your provisioning (must contain your UDID)
