Exchange 2013 install fails on Step 10 Mailbox Role: Mailbox Service

Hello,

I am installing Exchange 2013 onto a Server 2012 server, we are currently running Exchange 2007 in a organisation of three other sites. We are the first site to upgrade to Exchange 2013 but we do not hold the Default OAB, when we run the Exchange 2013 install it fails at Step 10 Mailbox Role: Mailbox Service with this error:

Are all the Exchange 2007 servers fully up to date with Exchange service packs/rollup updates, OS updates/service packs, etc?
