Angular 2 2.0.0-rc.1 Property 'map' does not exist on type 'Observable<Response>' not the same as issue report
<p>while this looks like same issue as <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36947748/angular-2-beta-17-property-map-does-not-exist-on-type-observableresponse">Angular 2 beta.17: Property &#39;map&#39; does not exist on type &#39;Observable&lt;Response&gt;&#39;</a></p>

<p>this is a new version and those solutions don't work for this new released version</p>

<p>I've update to the latest Angular 2 rc1 and can't get things to compile. I had issues with not recognizing 'Promise'  I ended up installing es6-promise typing directly to resolve that issue.  I have tried putting in various import statements but no luck.  I'm running in visual studio 2015</p>

<pre><code>import 'rxjs/Rx';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';
import {Observer} from 'rxjs/Observer';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/share';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

return this._http.post(url, null, args).map(extractData).toPromise();
</code></pre>

<p>but continue to get the property 'map' does not exist on type 'Observable'</p>

<p>my package file is</p>
