A) Tried to change the machineKey, with steps:
1) Install a new DNN version 6.00.02 successfully on PC2 (IIS7.5, SQL Server 2005)
2) Copy and paste the machineKey from web.config from the newly installed version to the copy&paste version (which is the same 6.00.02).
Result: Again the same error for machineKey as using the machineKey from PC1 having Virtual Directory in IIS 7.5

B) Tried to change copy&paste version from SQLExpress to SQL Server 2005;
Result: still I have redirection to ...InstallWizard.aspx

C) Tried to Restore database from bak file like instructions for SQL Server 2005;
Result: still I have redirection to ...InstallWizard.aspx

This task with copy&paste, configuring Security for File & Folders, configuring IIS and SSMS is 10-15 minutes works per try, but all steps I tried with copy&paste and UNsuccessful.

Please, advice. Thanks! DMitar

SUCCESS with copy&paste method!

How often happens, 30 minutes after a long post and several days actions the solution is here. I'll write for other readers interested in the successful steps:

Prerequisites: DNN 6.00.02 installation at PC1 want to move to PC2 as fast as possible. So, we need to copy & paste all files and folder from PC1 to PC2 and configure the dnn6 application in PC2.

PC1 configuration: SQL Server 2005 Express, IIS 6, Windows XP
PC2 configuration: SQL Server 2005, IIS 7.5, Windows 7

1) Create a full backup of PC1 database to bak file
2) Copy and paste all files to Inetpub/wwwroot/dnn6.02
3) right click on dnn6.02 and apply appropriate security permissions to files and folder (Network Service account for Windows 7)
4) Open IIS and covert to application the folder dnn6.02, give ASP.NET v4.0 apppool
5) Open SSMS and create a new database
6) Restore the bak file to that newly created database
7) Open SSMS and follow the instruction in (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/W...) to configure User Logins and map permission to the newly created database which was restored in step 6.
8) Configure web.config ConnectionStrong to Server=(local);Initial Catalogue=databasename and the addSetting to the approriate

You're ready!

8) Create any necessary Applications in IIS for the Aliases in your DNN6 app
