I have exculded the es6 files that the compiler is complaining about, but i am not sure if it is getting excluded for sure as the compiler is still complaining

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES6",
    "module": "system",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false
  },

  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "typings/es6-promise/es6-promise.d.ts",    
    "typings/es6-collections/es6-collections.d.ts",
    "dist"    
  ] 

}

I have also included the followin the bootstarp.js file after doing somereaserch online

///<reference path="../../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>

Any idea what's wrong here ?

I deleted the conflicting files to make it work .. not the right approach, but had to move forward. — user2180794, Jun 23 '16 at 18:07

Remove ///<reference path="../../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>

in the exclude array of tsconfig.json add the following

typings/browser.d.ts,
typings/browser
