MDK version check failing when running BLE examples on Keil uVision5

[WikoR]

I  recently downloaded Keil uVision5 and am trying to run some of the examples that are found in nRF5_SDK_12.3.0 available from on Nordics website on my Nordic51 development kit. I have successfully gotten the blinky found in [nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad\examples\peripheral\blinky\pca10028\blank\arm5_no_packs] to build target and run.

However, for examples that use BLE found in [nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad\examples\ble_peripheral] whenever I try to build the target the following error occurs.

The following check seems to be failing and so everything after wont run:

/* Check MDK version to make sure we have the required macros */
NRF_MDK_VERSION_ASSERT_AT_LEAST(8,34,0);

Things to keep in mind:

1. I have set up the soft device s130 before trying to build the target using nrfGo 
   
2. I checked the software packs in Keil and the version from the DeviceFamilyPack I'm using and it shows 8.11. Whenever I try to tick 8.38 the target builds successfully but I get a Download Failed - "Cortex-M0" error when trying to run it:
   
   Run Error when I tick 8.38.0:

Hi,

The most common reason for the "flash download error" is if the application overlap with a Softdevice image that's already programmed onto the device. And the peripheral blinky example starts at address 0x0, same as the Softdevice. Please try to erase the chip before you program the application to confirm.

Best regards,
