This is still an issue with 17.6.2

[wbsimms]

This is still an issue with 17.8.1

[InspiredEnigma12477]

faced a similar issue after updating Visual Studio to 17.10.x

Note the script works in the external Terminal, but not in Task Runner, also used to work before the update (previous version 16.x)

Run npm audit for details.
