Answer 1

WoW, poor Microsoft..

The issue here is that on installing VS2015, I got TypeScript 1.8, But it didn't update the PATH env variable of Windows 10, So I was actually using the 1.0 version.

I had to update it manually with the help of THIS POST .

(be aware of the comment there to use "compileOnSave": true on win10 os).

Now it's WORK (-;
