Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) install fails

Same issue? https://communities.intel.com/message/513210#513210

Please install Microsoft Net Framework.
Net Framework
EDIT: This Framework

i tried installing .net 4.52 but it aborts saying i already have a higher version edition. Windows 10 has 4.7 built-in.

What Bios version do you have now?

grom, that 2nd link gigabyte website download its a zip with 7 files in it:
dotnetfx35.exe
dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
setup.exe
wic_x64_enu.exe
wic_x86_enu.exe
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
WindowsXP-KB898715-x64-enu.exe

i already have .net framework 3.5 installed. i think thats what these files are.
files on the gigabyte site are often repackaged into zip files and are not the latest intel/MS files.

Ok, please tell me your Bios version?

F12 is the BIOS version i have.

Very odd, do you need Intel Rapid Storage software, or only drivers?

i've seen it run on my same PC system before but i can't remember if i had it running on a Windows 10 edition. i think i have. but on Windows 7 it requires .net framework 4.52 to be installed first. i think it might improve system performance having intel RST installed. its aimed mostly at RAID users i think. i don't have any drives set up as RAID.
