Tests don't compile with TypeScript 1.8.7

See original GitHub issue

I was having TS compilation errors when trying to run gulp test. I discovered it was because I was using a newer version of TypeScript.

My understanding is that typescript is supposed to be pinned to 1.8.0 as per PR #1294

However, when I ran gulp test it was still using 1.8.7. Based on some comments from @ericsciple in PR #1293 I believe it’s because tsc.exe is in my PATH. I’m assuming it got there because of how I installed it, which was following the instructions in Contribute.md, which instruct me to install it globally (or maybe it was VS that put it there, I’m not sure):

npm install typescript -g

If all of the above is correct, I’d suggest updating Contribute.md with instructions for how to properly setup my dev environment.

I also submitted PR #1366 which fixes toolrunner.ts so that it compiles in the latest version of TypeScript.
