the problem was including BrowserModule with UniversalModule where the it blows up on the server since it's not using the correct Node services

[PatrickJS]

the solution to this error is either detecting that other platforms are included and provide docs

np, can you create an issue about providing better errors when including other platforms with the UniversalModule

[hongbo-miao]

yeah sure!
