Answer 1

I was injecting service like this:

private messageShowService MessageShowService

Answer 2

You haven't the last version of typescript.

Running :

npm install -g typescript

npm checks if tsc command is already installed.

Run where tsc to know its bin location. It should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\ in windows. Once found, delete the folder, and re-run npm install -g typescript. This should now install the last version of typescript.

Answer 3

On Windows you can have in your PATH

PATH = ...;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\; ...

remove it from PATH env, then

npm install -g typescript@latest

it worked for me to solve the

"TypeScript error TS1005: ';' expected"
