Kendo UI Angular : (SystemJS) Unexpected token <

Question

I'm using VS2015 RC3, Angular2 2.0.0 on an ASP.NET Core solution using IIS.

Whenever I try to add a new UI module such as dropdowns or inputs, I get a SystemJS error, but the weird thing is that my buttons work without any issue...

master.module.ts :

import { ButtonsModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-buttons';
import { DropDownsModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-dropdowns';
import { InputsModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-inputs';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        CommonModule,
        MasterRouting,
        ButtonsModule,  // => Works fine and button is showing as expected 
        InputsModule,   // Error : Unexpected Token
        DropDownsModule // Error : Unexpected Token
    ],
    [...]

I get these errors (depending on which module I try to add in my "imports" array :

InputsModule error : pointing at the import line in my master.modules.ts

zone.js:192 Error: (SystemJS) Unexpected token < SyntaxError: Unexpected token < at Object.eval (http://localhost:39351/app/master/master.module.js:35:30)

DropdownsModule error :

zone.js:192 Error: (SystemJS) Unexpected token < SyntaxError: Unexpected token < at Object.eval (http://localhost:39351/node_modules/@progress/kendo-angular-dropdowns/dist/npm/js/combobox.component.js:630:19)

this one shows me the import in the kendo library :

module.exports = require("@telerik/kendo-dropdowns-common/dist/npm/js/bundle");

which I made sure I had in my wwwroot...

EDIT : As you can see in the error list, it's trying to evaluate the @telerik bundle with an incorrect path, so I guess the error is coming from there, but then why don't they setup SystemJS configuration for the telerik packages in the documentation ? Am I missing something there ?

I'm completely lost, so any help with be greatly appreciated...

Here are some others files in case they help :

Well I also have examined this problem and it seems their button quickstart systemjs.config.js is different then their button plunkr code sample systemjs.config.js so I am asking them for guidance as to the correct approach.
