I have a number of Apps in AppStore that show as 'Installed'.

Unfortunately, they were installed on my old SL partition, not the new Lion one. Is there any way to reset the 'Installed' flag, so I can redownload them please?

Why don't you just copy them over?

I was hoping there was a way to make them available for redownload - just in case. Luckily, I do have them on another volume, so I can copy them over :)

You should be able to re-download via the "Purchased" tab in the App Store. Do you not see your history there? If not, you may not be logged in under the correct Apple id.

They all show up there, but they all say 'Installed'

hold CMD or the option key (cant remember which one) down while clicking on installed and that should allow you to re download them. :)

Hold the option key down (alt), while clicking on the app store, keep the option key held down, and click on purchased, still holding the option key click on install and it should re download it for you :)
