Cannot use local IDE installation for testing IntelliJ IDEA plugin under Windows

When I set the platform dependency to a local installation of either IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio, imports from e.g. ‘com.intellij’ cannot be resolved anymore. I am sure I picked the correct paths because otherwise I get this error on Gradle reload:
“java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot resolve 'product-info.json' with: 'C:\Users\[…]”

This is my build.gradle.kts, am I doing something wrong? I somehow find it hard to find good documentation on this process.
