looks like its only a bug on intellij. Works fine on android studio

I'm seeing the same on windows, also using intelliJ (2018.2.3 with plugin 28.0.4).

Exception: Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio": CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied

I can work around by setting the android studio directory to the actual file:

flutter config --android-studio-dir=C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe

But that caused problems with updates so I'm just opening android studio manually now.

@rmtmckenzie your solutions works splendidly, however it did cause some issues that flutter doctor complained about, the flutter app works fine tho
