prerender task fails

[mbrezovsky]

I pulled this universal-starter project, prerender and ssr mode works. Then I integrate it to my project, build was successful. But it fails when the command node prerender is called. It fails with this error:

Unhandled Promise rejection: Cannot read property 'create' of undefined ; Zone: ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: { TypeError: Cannot read property 'create' of undefined at /Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:5763:77 at ZoneDelegate.invoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123269:26) at Object.onInvoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:5024:33) at ZoneDelegate.invoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123268:32) at Zone.run (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123019:43) at NgZone.run (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:4841:69) at PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:5761:23) at Object.renderModuleFactory (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:105514:39) at /Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:159308:82 at ZoneDelegate.invoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123269:26) __zone_symbol__currentTask: ZoneTask { _zone: Zone { _properties: {}, _parent: null, _name: '', _zoneDelegate: [Object] }, runCount: 0, _zoneDelegates: null, _state: 'notScheduled', type: 'microTask', source: 'Promise.then', data: undefined, scheduleFn: undefined, cancelFn: null, callback: [Function], invoke: [Function] } } TypeError: Cannot read property 'create' of undefined at /Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:5763:77 at ZoneDelegate.invoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123269:26) at Object.onInvoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:5024:33) at ZoneDelegate.invoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123268:32) at Zone.run (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123019:43) at NgZone.run (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:4841:69) at PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:5761:23) at Object.renderModuleFactory (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:105514:39) at /Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:159308:82 at ZoneDelegate.invoke (/Users/michal/web/dist/prerender.js:123269:26)

Issue caused by multi module project and related misconfiguration.

@mbrezovsky Don't want to open a new issue, but running into the same thing. What did you end up fixing on your end to get it working? I pulled down and integrated into a current project to get prerendering so we can deploy for SEO, but getting this Unhandled Promise rejection error.
