Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver installation failure on Dell 7577

Question

Hello, Kindly asking for your help with installing IRST driver on my Dell 7577. Here is the link - https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-lv/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=62c56&oscode=wt64a&productcode=alienware-m15-laptop Whenever I'm trying to install it I've always been receiving installation error. Potentially something wrong with the Intel package itself, because I see this in installation log   INFO | 2021/08/02 14:41:22 | Extracting VMD drivers |INFO | 2021/08/02 14:41:22 | Extracting embedded resource: SetupRST.VMD-Driver.zip to c:	emp\ihr1n4v5.j23.91e57b58\VMD-driver.zip |WARNING | 2021/08/02 14:41:22 | Core.EmbeddedResources.EmbeddedResourceExtractorException: Extracting embedded resource: SetupRST.VMD-Driver.zip to c:	emp\ihr1n4v5.j23.91e57b58\VMD-driver.zip failed. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.at Core.EmbeddedResources.EmbeddedResourceExtractor.ExtractToFile(IEmbeddedResource resource, String filePath)--- End of inner exception stack trace ---at Core.EmbeddedResources.EmbeddedResourceExtractor.ExtractToFile(IEmbeddedResource resource, String filePath)at Core.Driver.DriverRepository.ExtractDriverPackage(IDriverBundle driverPackage, ISecureDirectory secureDir)at Core.Driver.DriverRepository.TryExtractDriverPackage(IDriverBundle driverBundle, ISecureDirectory secureDirc)Unable to extract VMD driver |   Regards

If you click on compatible systems the 7577 is not listed, therefor the driver must not be compatible with your system. Have you tried the Intel site here? And read the notes as the driver on their site is for Intel Optane and Intel SSD.

Found by Dell 7577 Service Tag

A package from the Intel web-site has the very same installation error in the logs.

Which SATA driver are you using now. Device Manager > Storage Controller.

If you Intel Rapid Storage > Switch to Microsoft Sata controller

Reboot, open programs and feature and uninstall Intel Rapid storage

Now this Driver should work fine.

Last resource run SupportAssist and Let it install the drivers

Inspiron
