IE 11 still doesn't support ES2015 features like Promises.
My default approach here is to use a Polyfill lib, include it in "externalJS" section of pbiviz.json and add "es2015" as lib to tsconfig.json.
As a result, the custom visual compiles, but the first use of a Promise results in an error:
new Promise((resolve, reject) => { resolve(); });
ERROR TypeError: Erlaubnis verweigert.
Die Eigenschaft "getOwnPropertyNames" eines undefinierten oder Nullverweises kann nicht abgerufen werden.
In english it's probably
ERROR TypeError: Permission denied.
The "getOwnPropertyNames" property of an undefined or null reference can not be retrieved.
However, when I write instead
new window["Promise"]((resolve, reject) => { resolve(); });
.. it works as expected.
What's happening here?
This issue is related to the fact that Power BI creates a copy of window object to isolate PBI code from Custom Visual's code.
Such solution might produce issues with some native methods and it produces issues with importing external libraries.
Meanttime, we're implementing Webpack based PBIVIZ tools to support ES2015 and get rid of this issue by additional code isolation. You can already check it out. It's avaialbe under beta tag on NPM.

Tried the beta version (@2.0.1) of the powerbi-visuals-tools package. Gives me a "Syntax error" in IE11 right away with the sample visual that you get with "pbiviz new". Other browsers work, though.
If you say, it's safe to use window["Promise"], then I can work with that.
Yeah, window["Promise"] will probably work well.

Can you please show me the function how to implement?
Replace all "Promise" - calls with "window['Promise']"
What exactly do you want to know?
U mean in PowerBi.js replace Promise calls?
In your Custom Visual code, usually all *.ts files.
Have you resolved the issues?

not yet. Below is the function that I have.
function Print() {
var embedContainer = $('#reportContainer')[0];
// Get a reference to the embedded report.
report = powerbi.get(embedContainer);
// Trigger the print dialog for your browser.
report.print()
.catch(function (errors) {
Console.log(errors);
});
}
Do you still get an error related to Promise?
