I've been trying to get the Angular 2.0 Quickstart for Typescript running in Visual Studio 2015 by following the instructions on Angular 2.0 Quickstart, but I've run into some difficulties. After resolving the Typescript issues by transferring the settings from tsconfig.json to the project properties xaml, I encountered a runtime error stating "require is undefined." I attempted to use IE 11, IE Edge, and Chrome 48.0 without success. Rather than sharing the code here, I can confirm that it was copied and pasted from the examples provided, with the exception of adding the following typing at the top of main.ts which appeared to resolve other errors:
///<reference path="../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>
I have come across discussions about this issue in older posts but no definitive solution has been identified.
