If you came here because you see these errors in Visual Studio 2017 then you have a different problem as above, if you succeed in compiling. This is because the language service doesn't pick your tsconfig.json.

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/208941/vs-156-ignores-tsconfigjson-and-typescriptcompileb.html

You have to set the Build Action of your tsconfig.json to "Content"(Right click -> Properties), then VS will pick it up.

I managed to fix this issue without having to add any triple-slash reference to the TS bootstrap file, change to ES6 (which brings a bunch of issues, just as @DatBoi said) update VS2015's NodeJS and/or NPM bundled builds or install typings globally.

Here's what I did in few steps:

added typings in the project's package.json file.
added a script block in the package.json file to execute/update typings after each NPM action.
added a typings.json file in the project's root folder containing a reference to core-js, which is one of the best shim/polyfill packages out there at the moment to fix ES5/ES6 issues.

Here's how the package.json file should look like (relevant lines only):

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "name": "YourProject",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    ...
    "typings": "^1.3.2",
    ...
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    ...
  },
  "scripts": {
      "postinstall": "typings install"
  }
}

And here's the typings.json file:

{
  "globalDependencies": {
    "core-js": "registry:dt/core-js#0.0.0+20160602141332",
    "jasmine": "registry:dt/jasmine#2.2.0+20160621224255",
    "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160621231320"
  }
}

(Jasmine and Node are not required, but I suggest to keep them in case you'll need to in the future).

This fix is working fine with Angular2 RC1 to RC4, which is what I needed, but I think it will also fix similar issues with other ES6-enabled library packages as well.

AFAIK, I think this is the cleanest possible way of fixing it without messing up the VS2015 default settings.

For more info and a detailed analysis of the issue, I also suggest to read this post on my blog.

Another Possible solution is to reinstall typings:
This works for me for "angular2": "2.0.0-beta.15"

npm clean cache
npm install
npm install -g typings
Delete typings directory from project (Directory wwhere typings modules are installed)
typings install
npm run

Another good solution  You need create a file typings json in root directory of project with content        globalDependencies          core-js    registry dt core-js 0 0 0 20160725163759        jasmine    registry dt jasmine 2 2 0 20160621224255        node    registry dt node 6 0 0 20160909174046          Then install global or local typings package  if it not installed  i am install it global    sudo npm install --global typings   In project root directory run command   typings install   After that problem is solved  Not needed to change tsconfig target to es6 or es7  Your web application do not support after that some old version of browsers

I noticed these problems showing up after upgrading from Angular 5 to Angular 6. I was able to fix this by doing the following in VS2017:

Ensure the TypeScript SDK was installed (via the Visual Studio Installer) for my particular version of TypeScript, 2.9
Ensure that the Module System project property is set to match that in my tsconfig.json: ES2015. This is often automatically in sync if the tsconfig file is in the root of the project. However, since I was using the VS Angular template, it places these files in a "ClientApp" subfolder, and the Module System project property was not set.

tsconfig.json:

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": [
      "es2017",
      "dom"
    ],
    "module": "es2015",
    "baseUrl": "./"
  }
}

Angular 2 Final  - es5 support  Works perfectly with TS 2 0 0     Per update es6-shim isn t supported now  if you have both typings installed together es6-shim  amp  core-js together  Remove es6-shim typing by mentioning in tsconfig json  You could now refer below core-js typing for es5 support inside main ts      lt reference path       typings globals core-js index d ts   gt    tsconfig json  exclude        node modules      lt -- this would be needed in case of VS2015     node modules  typings       typings      - es6 suppport  You just need to set  target  property to es6  then all will error go away  And the transpiled code will be in es6 format

I also have the same problem-- Promise not found --when the code wants to create a Promise object   Tried some solution found on stackoverflow  including the one to take out  System config          to form system js and have it included in index html   Finally I solved the problem  The issue is that  in index html  es6-shim min js is included  However  in tsconfig json  the  target  property under  compilerOptions  has the value of  es5   After I changed it to  es6   error is gone

Angular 5 with Typescript  2 0 0  This should also work the same with earlier versions of Angular 2    To get this to work with typescript 2 0 0  I did the following   npm install --save-dev  types core-js  tsconfig json    compilerOptions          declaration   false       emitDecoratorMetadata   true       experimentalDecorators   true       mapRoot              module    es6        moduleResolution    node        noEmitOnError   true       noImplicitAny   false       outDir       dist out-tsc        sourceMap   true       target    es5        typeRoots               node modules  types              types            core-js              More about  types with typescript 2 0 0    https   blogs msdn microsoft com typescript 2016 06 15 the-future-of-declaration-files  https   www npmjs com  types   Install Example   npm install --save-dev  types core-js   Duplicate Identifier errors  This is most likely because duplicate ecmascript 6 typings are already being imported from somewhere else most likely an old es6-shim    Double check typings d ts make sure there are no references to es6  Remove any reference to es6 from your typings directory if you have one    For Example   This will conflict with types   core-js   in typings json        globalDependencies          core-js    registry dt core-js 0 0 0 20160602141332          es6-shim will also conflict         Including core-js in the types array in tsconfig json should be the only place it is imported from    Angular CLI 1 0 0-beta 30  If you are using the Angular-CLI  remove the lib array in typings json  This seems to conflict with declaring core-js in types    compilerOptions                 removed  lib     es6   dom              types      core-js     Webstorm Intellij Users using the Angular CLI  Make sure the built in typescript compiler is disabled  This will conflict with the CLI  To compile your typescript with the CLI you can setup a ng serve configuration     Tsconfig compilerOptions lib vs types  If you prefer not to install core js type definitions there are some es6 libraries that come included with typescript  Those are used via the lib     property in tsconfig    See here for example  https   www typescriptlang org docs handbook compiler-options html     Note  If --lib is not specified a default library is injected  The   default library injected is     For --target ES5  DOM ES5 ScriptHost     For --target ES6  DOM ES6 DOM Iterable ScriptHost   tl dr   Short answer either  lib      es6    dom    or  types     core-js   can be used to resolve can t find Promise Map  Set and Iterator  Using both however will cause duplicate identifier errors

Since Angular 2 went to RC 0   angular2 typings browser d ts is no longer part of the Angular 2 distribution  The file can be installed separately    From here  https   github com angular angular issues 8513 there are a few options  The one that worked for me was   typings install es6-shim --ambient --save     In your app ts      lt reference path  typings browser d ts    gt

[javascript] Angular: Can't find Promise, Map, Set and Iterator

The answer is

Updated as of angular-2.0.0-rc.4

Option 1: Transpile to es6 or es2015

Option 2: Transpile to es5, install typings, and then install the es6-shim:

Option A: Make sure your tsconfig.json is at the same level as the typings folder.

Option B: Reference in main file before bootstrap (Don't do this):

Angular 2 Final

- es5 support (Works perfectly with TS 2.0.0 +)

- es6 suppport
