Download a version from here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=RC&device=smultron

If it doesn't resolve, do the following:

Open zip file, go to meta-inf> com> google> android> extract updater-script

Open updater-script with notepad++ (has to be notepad++).

Remove following lining:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "ST15i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "ST15i" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "ST15i" || 
       getprop("ro.product.device") == "ST15a" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "ST15a" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "ST15a" || 
       getprop("ro.product.device") == "smultron" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "smultron" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "smultron");

Do not wipe /system.
Install stock ROM with Flashtool(kernel is not needed) and try installing again.
Wipe cache, dalvik cache and make factory reset, but, once again, do not wipe /system.

CyanogenMod ROM checks the build.prop file, if you are installing the correct ROM. This prevents problems, like installing wrong ROM on your phone.

You can look into someguyfromhell's, or my signature. There you'll find how to flash a ROM (and more) explained with greater detail.

Anyway, copy the ROM zip onto your SDcard.
boot into recovery, select factory reset, wipe cache, then choose install custom zip> choose zip and select your ROM.

Just had to put it...

Install the same like you did, but do not use the wipe /system option.

Hi guys ! Have same problem as original poster. I'll try removing first 3 lines with note++ and will report back. BTW why is this happening I mean it looks like it's saying that this device is not ST15a ....we it's not It's ST15i and according to CM this build is made for ST15i ... unless both are same thing just different regions called it different letter .....
