When running and the agent_folder was created using mkdir in Windows: An error from module "_bootstrap" occures because it can't import the folder where the init file is (multi_tool_agent in my case)
(maybe _bootstrap issue and not adk so change of docs would be useful, especially as issue is in quickstart)
SyntaxError: source code string cannot contain null bytes
To Reproduce
- Go to Quickstart and follow instruction and use mkdir in Windows
- Run using any run method in Quickstart
- When running with adk web write to the client / when using in terminal error occures directly
- Then error occures
Expected behavior
Should run normally, also the error message is not very helpful either, users dont really know what the issue is
Screenshots

Versions
- OS: [Windows]
- ADK version: latest
- Python version: 3.13.3
Suggestion
Change of docs for windows users until issue is resolved
