creating lion installer back up AFTER installation?

I din't realize that after the lion installer runs, it deletes the installer... I'd like to install in on another machine that is currently running leopard and would prefer not to D/L SL just to upgrade to lion.

What's the deal here? Can it be done?

This should help:

I know how to do that, but AFTER you install lion it deletes the installer so, now what? How do I get it back?

Download it again? Or start doing some data recovery.

Use the code from the Mac App. Store from the Lion download the first time around, sign in, download Lion again, burn the Lion disk. FYI...you don't get charged $29.99 again.

Code from the App store? THis is all new to me? where do I find the code? When signed into the app store, lion just appears as "installed" with no option to download again...

By "code" I meant "Apple ID". Read this thread starting at about post #21:
