StoreDevTools crash on an older setup - ngrx-store

Question

I am trying to instrument StoreDevTools with an oldish version of Angular (4.1.x) and #ngrx/store (5.2.0).
The zone.js version installed is 0.8.29
If I do the recommended way (ie. after StoreModule and EffectsModule) (app.module.ts):
StoreModule.forRoot({}),
EffectsModule.forRoot([]),
StoreDevtoolsModule.instrument({
name: 'myApp',
maxAge: 50,
}),
then the StoreDevTools crash with
Error:
zone.js?6788:682 Unhandled Promise rejection: Object(...) is not a function ; Zone: <root> ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: TypeError: Object(...) is not a function
at new StoreDevtools (store-devtools.js?51ff:764)
the js line referred says:
var liftedAction$ = merge(merge(actions$.asObservable().pipe(skip(1)), extension.actions$).pipe(map(liftAction)), dispatcher, extension.liftedActions$).pipe(observeOn(queueScheduler));
When I do the other way around, the StoreDevTols don't crash, but the inspector cannot see the store in there.
Both modules are receiving empty data because I am just putting the store in place and I start with a feature module.
StoreModule.forFeature('Feature1', feature1Reducer),
EffectsModule.forFeature([
Feature1Effects,
]),
There is no data stored at the root level, like app or auth just yet.
Is the error caused by dependencies (like zone.js for example) or by how I set up my store?
Redux DevTools 2.17.0

Old question, but if it helps anyone - I had a the same error after upgrading an old app to use #ngrx/store to 4.1.1
I had to match #ngrx/store-devtools to the same version number as the other #ngrx deps.
npm had initially installed it at latest which was 8.x at time of writing. As soon as the deps were matched the app and store loaded fine
"#angular/core": "5.2.11",
...
"#ngrx/effects": "4.1.1",
"#ngrx/store": "4.1.1",
"#ngrx/store-devtools": "4.1.1",
....
"zone.js": "0.8.12"
