<html>
 <head>
   <title>Angular QuickStart</title>
   <meta charset="UTF-8">

   <script src="node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js"></script>
   <script src="node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js"></script>
   <script src="node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js"></script>

This happens when you try to build with commonjs and try to load with systemjs loader. In you tsconfig.json change the module to system.

my tsconfig.json below.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "system",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true

  }
}
