Typescript TS5042 Build: Option 'project' cannot be mixed with source files on a command line

Question

I am receiving the following error across all typescript projects that I am trying run.

TS5042  Build: Option 'project' cannot be mixed with source files on a command line.

I have downloaded a free Typescript Angular2 template, ran it and this error immediately pops up.

Has it got something to do with my global typescript installation?

Not use Powershell. Use the old command.com in your configuration.

{
    "files.autoSave": "afterDelay",
    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe"
}
