Hi guys,

I'm using the new dotnet core 2.1 angular-cli template to create a new app which I'm trying to deploy to Service Fabric as a microservice. After the app is deployed to Service Fabric, I get the following error when I try to open it:

An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.
AggregateException: One or more errors occurred.
System.Threading.Tasks.Task.GetResultCore(bool waitCompletionNotification)

InvalidOperationException: The NPM script 'start' exited without indicating that the Angular CLI was listening for requests. The error output was: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\npm'

TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

I know this might not be a template error and it might be related to Service Fabric, but 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\npm' seems pretty odd to me because Service Fabric starts the application as NETWORK SERVICE and not as SYSTEM. Throughout the process list I have no node process running as SYSTEM. I'm assuming it fails to start and it closes before I'm able to see it.

Is there a way to avoid running node as SYSTEM?
