Running ng build in my Angular 4 project gives this error:

I read a lot of Q / A on github and stackoverflow on this issue, but none of them helped me.
As I said, I uninstalled webpack, but that did not help. Remote node_modules, removed webpack from package.json, run npm install , it still didn't help. Flushed npm cache, removed webpack from package.json, run npm install , still no result. And many other similar offers did not help.
When I remove webpack from package.json and run npm install , I get the following:
Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/node/NodeTemplatePlugin' Error: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/node/NodeTemplatePlugin' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:469:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:417:25) at Module.require (module.js:497:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at Object.<anonymous> (D:\dev\workspace\rep\node_modules\html-webpack-plugin\lib\compiler.js:11:26) at Module._compile (module.js:570:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10) at Module.load (module.js:487:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3) at Module.require (module.js:497:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at Object.<anonymous> (D:\dev\workspace\rep\node_modules\html-webpack-plugin\index.js:7:21) at Module._compile (module.js:570:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10) at Module.load (module.js:487:32)
When returning webpack to package.json, run npm install and then run npm list webpack to get the following result:
+-- @angular/ cli@1.4.7 | `-- webpack@3.6.0 `-- webpack@3.8.1

When I clone this repo on another machine, run npm install , and then ng build is fine, it works fine, but in my opinion this gives this error. I tried to completely remove the repo from my machine, clone from scratch and run npm install and ng build , still the same error.
Can someone tell me what could be causing this behavior and how to fix it?
