Yes I can confirm this behavior.
I installed my Eclipse to the folder C:\Programm Files\EclipsePhoton and get the very same error message except that my index position is 16 not 13 as yours. Thies leads me to the suspicion, that the whitespace character in our paths is causing the problem.

Here is my complete error-output:
