Help Google Music App Won't Install

I just got my Google Music invite and I'm in the process of uploading my library. While I was waiting I tried to install the Google Music app on my N1. It downloads, then tries to install itself and then I get the message Installation unsuccessful. Application cannot be installed in the default install location. My phone is completely stock. Not rooted or anything. It's running 2.3.4 GRJ22 with Launcher Pro. What's going on here?
 
Do you have enough internal memory space? I know the music app is quite large. Make sure it's loaded on the internal memory and you have like 20+mb free of space. I get the error when I am down on my memory.
 
I have about 50 mb of free space. This is just really puzzling. How do I make sure something is installed on the phone rather than the memory card?
 
Found this over at XDA in case anyone else is having similar trouble. It solved my problem.
This is what Google music team sent me about my failure to install music. I've never changed my default set location. Idk it might work for some but not me.

Thanks for the additional information. We've now received confirmation from a number of users that this issue is caused by setting the default installation location to the SD card. This is a developer tools option that can be reversed by running the following command:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
Click to expand...
 
Music showed up this morning, installs fine with my default location changed to SD Card on a Nexus One. It can't find the market page for it though, I guess it knows I'm not in the US.
 
for me it installs...but it doesn't show up as installed in the Market. Just appears as thought it isn't installed...but it actually is. I've tried uninstalling, clearing data, etc. Nothing works.
