SQL 2012 Compatibility / Pre-installation check failures

Hi,

I'm trying to install a trial of BE 15 on a Windows 2008 server running SQL 2012 SP3 (all latest updates/patches installed.) When running the pre-installation checks it tells me we're running an incompatible version of SQL. See attached. I've made sure all the latest updates are installed and rebooted the server.

Is this correct? This is my first time installing the product so I may be missing something obvious.

Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone help with this? Is it correct or is there a problem I need to investigate?

    Cheers.

    Can you install BE using the SQL Express that BE  itself tries to install?

    Ok this has worked thanks. I also realised that the server I was working with had remnants of an old version of BE there which also needed removing.

    Thank you.
