title: How to start IntelliJ IDEA despite of a plug-in error
body: <p>I have a problem with my IntelliJ idea 9 IDE. I installed the La Clojure plugin (<a href="http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=4050" rel="noreferrer">http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=4050</a>) and the IDE needed to restart. Now I get the following error on startup and it won't let me continue working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.lang.AssertionError: Source file C:\Users\foo\.IntelliJIdea90\system\plugins\org.intellij.clojure_8192.zip does not exist for action unzip[C:\Users\foo\.IntelliJIdea90\system\plugins\org.intellij.clojure_8192.zip, C:\Users\foo\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins]

  <p>When I couldn't find the zip archive in the specified folder, I manually dropped it in and the IDE correctly extracted it to the config/plugins folder and deleted the zip file from the system/plugins folder. Nevertheless, it didn't solve my problem, the error still exists. Is there a way to start IntelliJ idea disabling the plugin?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Alex</p>
