Your impression is incorrect. Android states that the /manifest/@android:installLocation was added in API 8:

	http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html#install

If you need to have <TargetFrameworkVersion/> target API 7 (e.g. for sane code completion), you can edit your Properties\AndroidManifest.xml and set the /manifest/uses-sdk/@android:targetSdkVersion attribute to 8. This should cause Mono for Android to use the API 7 Mono.Android.dll (for code completion) and the API 8 android.jar (for AndroidManifest.xml processing), allowing you to use the /manifest/@android:installLocation attribute.
