Getting FixedColumns to work

dlight

Link to test case:
Debugger code (debug.datatables.net):
Error messages shown: Type 'JQuery' is not generic
Description of problem:
I've been using datatables.net (1.10.18) for a while. Recently requested to have a fixed column. Using nuget I first upgraded to 1.12.1 before also installing datatables.net-fixedcolumns (4.1.0). I received many errors and found the article below discussing my exact problem. I followed Allan's instructions, installing the [./typings/jquery/jquery.d.ts] file and repointed the references. However, I can't delete the types.d.ts file without getting a missing file error.

After following instructions, I still get 4 .. [Type 'JQuery' is not generic] errors on these 4 lines in FixedColumns.d.ts
export interface IDOM {
leftBottomBlocker: JQuery<HTMLElement>;
leftTopBlocker: JQuery<HTMLElement>;
rightBottomBlocker: JQuery<HTMLElement>;
rightTopBlocker: JQuery<HTMLElement>;
}

[types.d.ts]
/// <reference types="datatables.net"/>
I'm also getting a "Cannot find type definition for 'datatables.net'.
It was advised to delete types.d.ts (which I can't), but I can get rid of this error by removing one of the slashes (//) to just make it a comment. That removes the error, but not sure if that will cause problems elsewhere.

any assistance would be appreciated.
