How to fix IntelliJ IDEA 2016 TypeScript error "Unable to start compilation process"

After setting up IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.x with the TypeScript compiler in my case, Node v6.2.1, I get a TypeScript project error like this:

"Error: cannot start compilation process

It started after IntelliJ was updated to 2016.2.x. Previous versions worked fine.

This is how I configure the TypeScript compiler: enter image description here

To resolve this issue, directly edit the TypeScript configuration in the .idea project directory. Within the project structure, go to the .idea directory, then find and open the typescript -compiler.xml file, as shown below. Direct editing

Now add the following xml option element after "useConfig" (be sure to use the path that matches your node installation):

<option name="nodeInterpreterTextField" value="$PROJECT_DIR$/../../node/bin/node" />

Be sure to change the directory path to your node instance.
Fixed

Unfortunately, we redefine this solution every time you edit and save your settings. Hopefully IDEA will be fixed soon.

First I ran:
npm install gulp - typescript typewriter --save-dev

Then I downloaded the version of WebStorm 2017.1.4 and reinstalled WebStorm.

After that, everything works fine.
