3. Repro steps. Upon

4. project creation by 'ng new myproj', no custom changes

5. commit to git repo

6. the following clone on another machine is missing the 'typings' folder.

7. npm install produces the error for postinstall step: "typings install --ambient"

8. which is resulting in missing typings and following 'ng build' error.

9. ng build gives the error:
   "no such file or directory" typings

Once new typings installed globally, the bug could not be not replicated on same machine. But we had this issue as on OSX and on Win10.

1. The fix is simple update of typings revision to current (I used 0.7.12 instead of rendered 0.6.6). New typings npm code does not render the error and creates typings folder with content as desired.

I could create the pull request if it helps.

[sashafirsov]

the PR #433 resolved the issue on source level, NPM deployment will do same for NPM environments.

[filipesilva]

This should be fixed on next version, yes. Please reopen if it is not.
