TypeScript error TS1005 expected II

Question

First of all  I ve already seen the other posts about error TS1005  Same error code  but totally different   A simple let x  number  will generate the error TS1005 during compilation  It s not about a missing semicolon as what the error message says  but the compiler does not recognize the let keyword  I read that maybe because of an outdated compiler    Here s my typescript version installed using npm install -g typescript   TypeScript version  2 5 2 Compiler  tsc  version  1 0 3 0   Maybe somebody can help

You don t have the last version of typescript  Running   npm install -g typescript  npm checks if tsc command is already installed  And it might be  by another software like Visual Studio  If so  npm doesn t override it  So you have to remove the previous deprecated tsc installed command  Run where tsc to know its bin location  It should  be in C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft SDKs TypeScript 1 0  in windows  Once found  delete the folder  and re-run npm install -g typescript  This should now install the last version of typescript

Your installation is wrong  you are using a very old compiler version  1 0 3 0     tsc --version should return a version of 2 5 2    Check where that old compiler is located using  which tsc  or where tsc  and remove it   Try uninstalling the  global  typescript  npm uninstall -g typescript   Installing as part of a local dev dependency of your project  npm install typescript --save-dev   Execute it from the root of your project    node modules  bin tsc

Remove C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft SDKs TypeScript 1 0 directory  Now run    npm install -g typescript    this will install the latest version and then re-try

I had today a similar error message  What was peculiar is that it did not break the Application  It was running smoothly but the command prompt  Windows machine  indicated there was an error   I did not update the Typescript version but found another culprit   It turned there was a tiny omission of symbol - closing      which I believe The Typescript is compensating for  Just for reference the code is the following    new Object  First Characteristic   Second Characteristic    Third Characteristic        notice here the ending     is missing    Once brought back no more issues on the command prompt
