Error - Platform type SqlAzureDatabaseSchemaProvider does not support schema file version '2.5'

Whilst trying to import a .bacpac database exported from an SQL Azure platform onto Microsoft SQL Server 2012, I received the following error:
Internal Error. The internal target platform type SqlAzureDatabaseSchemaProvider does not support schema file version '2.5'. (File: C:\Users\Surinder\Downloads\SurinderAzureDB.bacpac) (Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql)
Now it seems many people online have been encountering this horrible error and majority of my fellow bloggers have suggested that installing the SQL Server Data Tools – December 2012 Update for VS 2010 or 2012 will resolve this issue. Unfortunately installing this alone did not help me. I found out that I missed one key part of my SQL Server installation: Service Pack 2!
Can't believe this one small oversight caused me such a headache.
You can download Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP2 from the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=43340.
