The method used in that help article, i.e. setting resolve.root in the webpack config file, didn't work for me.
What does work for me, as I posted on the github bug report linked above, was to added an extra entry to my resolve.moduleEntries in the webpack config file.
I'm installing Kendo Pro from Bower, as per Telerik instructions, so my paths are different. I've setup a github repository showing my continuing problems at https://github.com/brownieboy/kendo-webpack-error-2016.1.226-SP1. Can somebody please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong, in anything? I can log a separate bug report, if required.
