The instance has Service Pack 1 (SP1) for SQL Server 2012 or cumulative update packages for SQL Server 2012 SP1 installed. In this situation, the merge replication fails on the client side, and you receive the following error message:

Additionally, the following error is logged in the SQL Server Agent Error log on the server:
