Error while running studio.exe in installing Android Studio

I got an error while installing Android Studio and this is the error message:

Internal error. Please report to http://code.google.com/p/android/issues

In the beginning I pointed out there is something wrong with bin/idea.properties file. Maybe method com.intellij.openapi.application.PathManager.getHomePath could not find the IDEA_HOME path in my Windows environment variable. After some analysis I narrowed the error cause to the folder naming. I installed the Intellij IDE to custom folder: C:\!DATA_STORAGE!\PROGRAM_FILES\Intellij. I tried to rename the folder with special character (exclamation). The results was:

C:\!DATA_STORAGE!\PROGRAM_FILES\Intellij - error
C:\DATA_STORAGE\PROGRAM_FILES\Intellij - OK (IntelliJ started)
C:\!DATA_STORAGE\PROGRAM_FILES\Intellij - OK
C:\DATA_STORAGE!\PROGRAM_FILES\Intellij - error

Finally I found the logic: whatever comes after the ! mark is inside the JAR file.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/JarURLConnection.html

The behaviour has been raised as bug in Java 1.3, 1.4, 5.0. http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4523159 There has been made a little change but overall the problem remains. The best existing solution is the workaround: don't use exclamation mark at the end of folder name or file name.
