Extracting drivers from the RST installer

ritmo2k — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 15:04:35 GMT

Hello,

It seems none of the options for extracting the drivers are valid anymore.

I have downloaded the installer from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19512/intel-rapid-storage-technology-driver-installation-software-with-intel-optane-memory-10th-and-11th-gen-platforms.html and tried the following:

SetupRST.exe -extract <path>

SetupRST.exe -a -p <path>

But neither works. Does anyone know how to do it with the most recent version, or if an F6 floppy archive still exists?

Thanks!

Hi,

I had the same issue, and ended up going down a rabbit hole with Procmon to find where the exe extracted the files.

I then actually went back and checked the documentation, turns out that the extract function is listed in the README, however it does not show up when you run the /? flag.

 Extract driver files from SetupRST.exe:
    - Open terminal in the directory with SetupRST.exe by right-clicking the directory
      and selecting "Open in Terminal" or "Open PowerShell here"
    - Enter the following command:
      ./SetupRST.exe -extractdrivers SetupRST_extracted

Hopefully this helps someone new visiting the post, no discredit to the person who shared the extracted files previously - I'm always a little cautious downloading drivers for untrusted sources.

Cheers,

Ayden

Serag is a lifesaver....I couldn't get to the install/extract option of this file because it wouldn't even let me in because it said unsupported platform....I created an account just to say thank you, I was clueless.

Created an account just to say THANKS! I'm also cautious with downloads especially drivers....even more so when the goal is for a clean system install!

Thank you so much for doing the work and sharing so we can extract the drivers our selves! Much appreciated!

This response should show at the top. Not sure if my Kudo helps, but I hope so.

I actually came to this post, discarded the shared files (not the latest version and not an official download), then read the end user PDF and finally the Readme where I found the answer. I should have just scrolled to the bottom first I guess...

Thanks!

Joerg.
