WebStorm 2016.1 TypeScript "Cannot start compiler process"


I've just installed JetBrains WebStorm 2016.1.1 Build #WS-145.597 for evaluation on OS X latest.

I want to use TypeScript but there is an immediate problem: I have enabled the TypeScript compiler in settings but in the Typescript Compiler tool window is complaining that it "Cannot start compiler process".

I've noticed that the build date on the WebStorm About box was yesterday (March 30 2016) so this may be a recently introduced issue.

Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone got an idea how to sort it?
