And with this now being in the Store, even non IP build users can install it. I just installed it on a 1903 system that I restored last night.

Eh? I clicked the link Leo posted, it opened in my browser, then I clicked the Get link, and it opened the Store app, and then I clicked the get link in the Store app - and it installed.

What'd you do?

I followed the link too, and it took me on a trip! FWIW, I've never had this happen before!

And, in addition, are you running a RAID configured system on that machine? If you're not running a RAID, RST is worthless to you and you can uninstall it. And the post that Wynona linked you to says the exact same thing, by multiple people there as well.

@Linkpa If I remember correctly, John, Simrick uninstalled and it still wouldn't work, and then she did something else. I think. I've PM'd her to see exactly what she did.

Works!

Good to hear that...

Linkpa said:

Where is the problem in fact?

I think it may be something to do with version 6 being incompatible with the update? Again, though, I'm not sure.

I have to make a grocery run; maybe by then Simrick will have seen my PM.

Download Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology (Intel(R) RST) User Interface and Driver

Purpose

The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) Driver 17.5.2.1024 supports the configuration and enabling of multiple features including:

• System acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory
• Configuration and maintenance of RAID 0/1/5/10
• Intel® RST

Note: Contact your system manufacturer prior to installing these applications or requesting technical support from Intel. They may provide software that is specifically configured for your system.
Which file to choose?

• SetupOptaneMemory.exe
  
  • Specifically designed and optimized to support system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory modules
  
  
• SetupRST.exe
  
  • Supports system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory in addition to advanced features such as management of RAID 0/1/5/10 volumes.
  
  
• f6flpy-x64.zip (64-bit Operating System) / f6flpy-x86.zip (32bit Operating System):
  
  • Standalone Intel® RST Drivers with Intel® Optane™ memory support
  • May be required during Operating System (OS) installation to detect PCIe* NVMe* drive, refer to system manufacturer documentation or Intel Customer Support

The RST (Rapid Storage Drive and software) is multi-purpose. It contains drivers and a Software App. The App is unnecessary if you do not have Optane memory, which used for the acceleration aspect of the "Rapid" part. But, the driver itself may be needed to support NVMe SSDs on a PCIe. That is precisely what I have. I have the driver, but uninstalled the Software App. I do not have RAID, but the OEM configured the NMVe Samsung 961 as RAID0, so I must have the driver, true RAID or not.

If the installation fails due to requiring an update to the RST driver, you need to update the IASTORAC.SYS, Then, before installation, go into C:\Windows\System32\drivers. If there are 2 there, rename the oldest to IASTORAC_OLD.SYS. Use a "_", not a ".". Reboot.

I just don't bother with RST.

Because you don't need any part of it. I would, too, but can't.

You have Optane?

Nope.
