Rx Operators Cannot Resolve Observable - Visual Studio 2015 & Typescript

[ZenSoftware]

There seems to be a problem with the node module resolutions with all the Rx operators in Visual Studio 2015. No matter what I try, I can not seem to get rid of these typescript errors. For example, when using the RxJS map operator within Angular2 Quickstart package, Visual Studio complains:

Severity: Error
Code: TS2664
Description: Invalid module name in augmentation, module '../../Observable' cannot be found. TypeScript Virtual Projects
Project File: C:\Angular2-Quickstart\node_modules\rxjs\add\operator\map.d.ts
Line: 2

I have several other npm packages that my typescript project does not complain about. Just the RxJS operators. For some reason, when I browse to any type definition file under "node_modules\rxjs\add\operator" all of them are showing the above error on the line with
declare module '../../Observable' {

My project compiles fine using both the typescript's CLI and Visual Studio's built in compiler, but I am getting a flood of these errors in Visual Studio's error window. It also breaks Typescript's intellisense. I have attempted to include a reference path to Rx.KitchenSink. But I just get more of the same errors. Unfortunately nothing seems to be solving this issue.
/// <reference path="../node_modules/rxjs/Rx.KitchenSink.d.ts"/>

My tsconfig.json:

  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "declaration": false,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false
  }

My typings.json:

  "ambientDependencies": {
    "es6-shim": "registry:dt/es6-shim#0.31.2+20160317120654"
    ...
  }

I am using the latest version of everything:
Windows 10
Visual Studio Enterprise 2015: Version 14.0.25123.00 Update 2
Typescript Version: 1.8.30.0
npm package: "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.7" (Errors also occurs with 5.0.0-beta.6)
Node: v6.1.0 (I don't think it is relevant, but also occurs on a system with Node v5)

I have a second system with a similar setup, the errors also occur there.

I'd like to hear from someone from the team if this RxJS related, or if this is a Typescript bug. I'm at a loss for where the root of the problem is.

@ZenSoftware @AloeDream Looks like you both are using rxjs v5 - you might be able to get more mileage by posting this to the rxjs 5 repo at https://github.com/reactivex/rxjs/issues.

Cheers.
