No, there was no Installer in /Applications, even after several trials as you 
said.

But I think I have found the culprit: on an external USB-HD (named Blackbox), I 
had stored a copy of the Lion installer for my MBP (which, btw, refused to 
install on the Mac Mini).
The failing trials of new downloads did therefore not store the installer in 
its proper place but were directed to change the installer on Blackbox. Apple 
interferes really too much in my storing system (big brother cares too much   
:-)

Anyhow, after disconnecting and the redownloading the whole thing, I succeeded. 
BTW and for everybodies info: the downloading file appeared in 
~Library/Application support/App Store until the end the download, and had only 
then be moved to /Applications.
Well, after endless hours of trials, all is done.

Thanks all for the help.
