Referenced files not found in Angular 2

Question

I followed this guide to set up Angular2 in Visual Studio 2015.

The project starts, and all seems fine. However I noticed these errors in the VS output window:

10:59:59.8753: Referenced file 'node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js' not found.

10:59:59.8763: Referenced file 'node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js' not found.

10:59:59.8763: Referenced file 'node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js' not found.

10:59:59.8763: Referenced file 'node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js' not found.

The 4 files actually exist in the destination folders, so I'm unsure what the problem is. Any advice?

I am not an expert on this however there seems to be a problem with the way the quick start project is setup. I saw a similar issue and found that node_modules exist under

VisualStudioProject\node_modules\

but the error is for

VisualStudioProject\src\node_modules\

I found the following article very helpful in creating my own quick start project.
