1. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
   do on your code? etc.

I had the error on a project and decided to create a new one for testing.

$ ng new apptest2
$ cd apptest2
$ ng build

I have not changed anything.

1. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
   more information.

+1 but not on my computer. I did the migration from RC4 to RC5 between monday and Wednesday (last week) and I did not have the issue.
My collegue just merge my work today and he starts to do the migration (npm install -g etc) and has this issue.

[JSMike]

I just started a new project based on the current master and received the same error upon ng serve

[JSMike]

Issue is with awesome-typescript-loader, i removed the ^ from the angular-cli package.json to use version 2.2.1 specifically and now it's working

[danyel]

that didn't work for me

My package.json doesn't even include awesome-typescript-loader. Project created with, and still using angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.8.

Works on one PC: win 10, node 6.2.1, npm 3.10.7
Not on another PC: win 7, node 6.5.0, npm 3.10.3

@JSMike how I generate the bin file of the angular-cli with the change you made in package.json?
@fredrik-lundin This change was made in package.json of angular-cli, not in created project.
