Angular2 build process freezes on windows

I'm trying to build angular2 on windows 10, but the build freezes after starting !build.js.cjs. The build freezes my terminal to the point where ctrl-c does not work and I have to close the terminal (or kill node in task manager) end it.

Running gulp broccoli.js.dev also freezes, so the issue might be in the broccoli task.

I have tried multiple versions of node, but I've not made any progress.

Dart SDK is not available, Dart tasks will be skipped.

update

doesn't apply to recent Angular2 versions because the build process was changed a lot

original

I created a Dockerfile to build Angular2 that might be of some help (needs a VM to run on Windows though)
