I've just downloaded and installed Android Studio but there is no Android submenu in Tools menu and no AVD Manager icon on the instrument panel. When I start SDK Manager, there is an error message:

Please specify a Android SDK location

SDK Manager screenshot: "Please specify a Android SDK location"

If I click on Edit link next to Android SDK Location field, there is another error message:

Your SDK location contains non-ASCII characters

SDK Components Setup screenshot: "Your SDK location contains non-ASCII characters"

I studied these somewhat similar questions, but non of them helped me:

I see that the path really contains non-ASCII characters, but is there any workaround other than uninstall Android Studio and then install it from scratch to some other directory like С:\Android\SDK?

UPD:

it seems there is no such workaround at this time

As a matter of fact at the moment there is no other way than to re-install Android Studio to some other directory with no non-ASCII characters and blank spaces, like С:\Android\SDK
