As update of SharePoint is not required with R3 version of AX, despite AX setup complains about missing update.

To fix this issue, you can do is following.

Open Log file of AX Setup, which is usually located at following path.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Setup Logs\

Open latest log file named as DynamicsSetupLog

Find the part of log, where it failed to find version of SharePoint.

Now open RegEdit and change value of sharepoint version value to 15.0.0.4481

Re-run setup of AX and it will pass version validation.

The RegEdit location for this version information is at following location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0

Below is how log  file looks, where you can find failure point.
