To all of you that might come upon this issue - just a note that might be of help to you since I was struggling with the same this week. Unfortunately It is not a solution but a workaround, hopefully this will be fixed with VS2019 ... So uninstall VS Team Explorer and then install the latest nightly build of NPM Task Runner (http://vsixgallery.com/extension/d7f89ba3-815c-4feb-89b9-68d1654e2138/). This way I successfully installed the NPM Task Runner on my VS2017 Community Edition.
