I've re-installed the combo update several times. It won't budge. It also seems from what i've read I need the app store to install Lion. Specifically, the 3.8 GB installer application, called Install Mac OS X Lion.app, will be saved to your main Applications folder (/Applications). On my cable-model connection the morning of Lion's.

The installer only self-destructs if it is left in the applications folder. If you put it on the desktop before running, it will still be there after the install.
What's the point of Method 2? If you have to move 'Install Mac OS X Lion' to the trash, don't you already have the installer? Why would you need to download it a second time?
because the original installer was corrupt
And if it wasn't corrupt, it's a proof of concept.
Personally, I like to refer to backups. You *do* keep a backup, don't you?

I only started on this quest when I had problems burning a boot DVD of InstallESD. I figured the file was corrupt.
What is a 'NON-LION 10.7 system'??? How can you have a 'Lion' system that is not 10.7?
If you mean you are running Snow Leopard, why don't you just say that? Very confusing.
Also, why do you only allude to the functional key-combo (Option-Click) on the 'Purchases' tab of the App Store? Wouldn't it be helpful to state what it actually is in order to clarify what this hint is trying to do?
Craig, this hint needs to be removed and rewritten for clarity; it only confuses the issues and adds little useful information.
Title: Re-Downloading OS X 10.7 Lion Installer from The App Store.
If you failed to save your 'Install OS X Lion.app' installer application prior to installation, you will find that it has self-deleted upon completing its own installation.
You may also have saved a copy, but for some reason, believe it to be corrupt (or out of date) and you wish to retrieve another copy.
Method 1: While running the App Store application under OS X 10.7 Lion, hold the 'Option' key while Clicking on the 'Purchases' tab in the titlebar. (Option-Click 'Purchases'). The 'OS X Lion' listing, which would normally show as 'Installed' will now again show 'Download'; click to re-download, but Cancel the Installation when given the opportunity, and then move or copy the installer from the Applications folder to a safe location.
Note: Be sure to label the new parent folder with the version number you downloaded; as of this writing that should be 10.7.0; this will be useful when future versions of the OS are updated to 10.7.1 and beyond.
Method 2: If you are still running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, simply move the Installer app from the Applications folder to the Trash (you need not empty the Trash if you have another use for the file); you will need to enter your Admin password to complete this move; then return to the App Store application and click on the purchases tab to re-download Lion. Save as above, as desired.
Method 3: If for some bizarre reason neither Methods 1 or 2 work for you, you can always d/l Lion Installer from any Mac using a boot partition that is still using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, but this should not be necessary.

You can not use any Mac. You can only download Lion on an Intel Mac that meets the minimum qualification to install Lion. The MAS will not allow me to download Lion on my iMac Core Duo even though it has the latest version of Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 and the latest version of the MAS, because Lion cannot be installed on it.
Yup, you're spot on; in my frustration with this and other sloppiness I've encountered since getting up way too early today, I forgot about that rather important detail. Thanks for the correction.

Other than the small correction Mr. Allen made above, I am with you 100%. Let's scrap this hint and replace it with the one you wrote.
Changing the title of the hint to:
10.7: Downloading Lion from App Store again
would be a good idea too.
10.7: Downloading Lion from App Store again
would be a good idea too.
Didn't work for me. When I hold the alt key while clicking on Purchased I see the list of purchases with the 'Install' buttons, but all the while I also get the dreaded spinning beach ball. When the spinning ball disappears all buttons change to 'Installed'.
I used a slightly different method which worked for me. I described it in a later comment farther down how.
I used a slightly different method which worked for me. I described it in a later comment farther down how.
A bit of preemptive thought goes a long way. I simply copied the Lion installer from my Applications to my Desktop prior to installation. It still sits there now. I was attempting to make a disk. However that didn't work for me. I just made a iso and stuck the .app inside of it and burned the iso file to a disk. Doesn't allow live booting, but I got a copy preventing me from needing to download another 4gb file.
I was expecting a real hint here. For example how to get the installer again after you downloaded.
There actually is an official Apple method to download the lion installer again, without deleting anything, without getting a new mac, and it even works on 10.7.
Here's how to do it:
Step 1 Open the Mac App Store.
Step 2 Navigate to your 'Purchased' Page
Step 3 Hold down the 'option'-key (alt) on your keyboard and click on your 'OS X Lion' purchase (not on the 'installed' button).
Step 4 You see the Lion product page. It should say 'Installed', but that button is clickable. Hold down the 'option'-key again and click on installed. If you don't hold the option key it will tell you there's already a newer version installed.
Step 5 Enter your login credentials.
Step 6 Download.
I guess I'll try and submit this procedure as a real hint.

Now that is a very useful hint! Of all the tips on burning Lion to a USB this is the first one that is actually useful to me. Many thanks!
One other ditty to get you straight to the Lion download link instead of going through the 'Purchased' tab…
On the 'featured' page, where Lion is still featured prominently, option-clicking the promo artwork/download link there will take you straight to the Lion detail page where the link will change from 'Installed' to 'Download.'
Easy peasy.

The tab in the Menu Bar says 'Purchased', once in that tab there is a column that says 'Purchases'
And the key combination is: Hold the 'option' key and click the 'Purchased' Tab

Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
Hint author here. I'll agree that in most cases you would be better off using a USB flash drive (8 gig drives cost practically nothing these days.) In my case, my employer asked that I create some bootable DVDs, and I didn't want to have to order a bunch of dual-layers. I'm sure there are others in similar circumstances.

I haven't tried the script, but it probably won't work in bash without properly escaping and/or quoting the paths with spaces on them.
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
You're absolutely right - good catch. The paths were fully escaped when I submitted the hint, but it looks like the backslashes got stripped out after submission.
I'll see about getting it fixed. In the meantime, you can download the escaped version here:

Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer -revised script
The shell script does require some modification. I have copied my version of the script below. I had the install app in a Downloads folder. You will need to change that reference to where your copy of the app is located. This ran in Terminal, after I saved the text as 'MLresize.sh', using nano, and ran on the file.
(I've got a lot of blank DVDs. And they won't get zapped by lightning like my Base Station did.)
The script ran in a few minutes, much less time than actually burning the DVD.
I just dropped the created .dmg file into Disk Utility, selected it, and clicked on burn.
After burning, the disc shows in System Preferences->Startup Disk as bootable.
Although I haven't tried it out yet.

How exactly does this work? How can you reduce the uncompressed size of an image without losing any data?
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
The image itself has a fixed size of 4.75 GB, but contains only 4.35 GB of data. All we're doing is trimming the free space.
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
So you can't just use Image/Resize in Disk Utility? (I'd try it, but I don't have Mountain Lion.)
Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD
Resize only works for read/write disk images, so, no.

I just copy/pasted the stuff for terminal, not bothering with the bash and everything worked as advertised. Verifying burnt disc now. Thanks!!

@kirkmc Why do you need Lion DiskMaker? Can't you just restore the InstallESD image in Install X Mountain Lion/Contents/SharedSupport using Disk Utility?
I have an installer on a USB and an SDHC Card using the restore method.

@derekJAB,
you can in fact restore InstallESD.dmg. Just remember to mount the dmg for Mountain Lion.
If you don't, disk utility will throw you an error.

So I already deleted the Install thing in applications. I copied the InstallESD.dmg image to my desktop (cause I like to keep things on my desktop) and changed the script accordingly. That should work for you too.

Optimization can reduce the size of an HFS or
HFS+ volume to the size of the data contained
on the volume. This option will change what
is burned such that the disc will have a dif-
ferent checksum than the image it came from.
The default is to burn all blocks of the disk
image (minus any trailing Apple_Free).
