I got this too. In webpack.config.js I changed loader section: /**

• Loaders
• Reference: http://webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#module-loaders
• List: http://webpack.github.io/docs/list-of-loaders.html

• This handles most of the magic responsible for converting modules */ config.module = { rules: [ // Support for .ts files. { test: /.ts$/, loaders: ['awesome-typescript-loader', 'angular2-template-loader', '@angularclass/hmr-loader'], exclude: [/.(spec|e2e).ts$/, /node_modules\/(?!(ng2-.+))/] }, // copy those assets to output { test: /.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot|ico)(\?v=[0-9].[0-9].[0-9])?$/, loader: 'file?name=fonts/[name].[hash].[ext]?' },

      // Support for *.json files.
      { test: /\.json$/, loader: 'json-loader' },
  
      // all css required in src/app files will be merged in js files
      { test: /\.css$/, loader: 'raw-loader' },
      // support for .html as raw text
      // todo: change the loader to something that adds a hash to images
      { test: /\.html$/, loader: 'raw-loader', exclude: root('src', 'public') }
  ]

  };

Also updated all dependencies to recent version in package.json. Also in elasticsearch.service.ts this._client.ping has changed - commment out the hello: "elasticsearch" and you can at least build it. There are other errors but at least this will get the code built. Hope this helps
