Can't init project in Windows 10

[jmceara]

• Review the documentation: https://facebook.github.io/react-native
• Search for existing issues: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues
• Use the latest React Native release: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases

Environment

Can't, because I can't create project.

Description

After installing all dependencies (exactly like https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html , section "Building Projects With Native Code"), I can't create a new project.
All packages are installed using choco without any error.
But when I try to create a new project, always get this error:

import type {CommandT} from './commands';
       ^^^^

Reproducible Demo

Just try to create a new project.

npm -v: 6.1.0
jdk: 8
android studio: latest
react-native: latest (using npm install -g react-native-cli).

[mdelclaro]

Same here...

[react-native-bot]

It looks like your issue may be missing some necessary information. Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

[turnrye]

Hey @mdelclaro and @jmceara, thanks for the report! I believe it's the same issue described in #20015. Will you please take a look at that and close this if you agree? That thread also has some details about a workaround currently. I hope that's helpful.

[jmceara]

@turnrye, that's exactly the same problem! With version 0.55.4 everything works as expected!

[turnrye]

@jmceara great, glad you were able to get up and running.

[victorhugoweb]

React 0.56 doesn't work in Windows ;(
nobody tested in Windows before this release
so sad ;(
