"Cannot find module" when running npm start for v2.0.0 on Windows 10

See original GitHub issue

Hi all, I am running Node v6.2.2 and npm 3.9.6 on Windows 10 Preview build 14366.

I did a clean install of the starter repo - both by cloning the repo and also using the CLI, which apparently now uses v2.0.0. When I hit “npm start” I get the following error. It seems like there is some issue with how file paths are setup.

I’m new to the JavaScript tooling space so I’m not sure how to debug. Any thoughts or workarounds would be appreciated.
