@Fernando:
That’s what I’ve like 5+ times before
I don’t think the AHCI driver is at fault, because things break with the AMD driver too
Could you take a look at the minidumps I’ve posted on MSFN?

@asdf23451:
Instead of testing different AHCI drivers you should check the integrity of your BIOS and some hardware components (system disk drive, memory, CPU etc.).
If you suspect a BIOS issue and are not satisfied with the support of the MSFN Forum, I recommend to start a new thread within the "BIOS Modding" section of this Forum and to attach a dump of your currently in-use BIOS Region or the complete SPI.

How did you manage to extract the files from "Samsung_NVM_Express_Driver_3.3.exe" ? Even when I use WiX Toolset, I still cannot completely extract all files - some of them still remain encrypted! For example, trying to extract the embedded file "SamsungInstaller64.msi" yields 2 folders and one of those folders appears to contain the driver (.inf, .cat, .sys) files - however, they are all cryptically named "InfDriverWin7" or "CatDriverWin7", "SysDriverWin7" etc. Obviously, they're still encrypted and further iterating (applying WiX on these subfolders/files) with WiX did not yield anymore decrypted files - like a dead end!

I don't want to have these files from you, I want to know HOW you could extract *all* files - so, I can do it myself in the future...

And by the way: I asked this on another topic, but did not get any responses for it, so I'm asking it here again: Is it possible to run a driver installer executable for an offline Windows (Win7, in my case) from a different online Windows session (Win10 in my case - I still can boot into Win10, unlike Win7) ?

Thanks for help,

AZ

The first I tried works just fine UniExtract2, you were just using the wrong tool...

@Fernando:
Thanks, that did do the trick! Apparently version 2 RC is more capable than version 1.6...
Unfortunately, getting the raw driver files didn't help me any further - when I try to inject them during Windows 7 Setup ("Load Driver"), it always ends with a failure message...
Can you answer my question in the other topic ("Which NVMe Drivers are the best (performance related) ?"), too?

Which message did you get?

Why didn't you integrate the MS NVMe Hotfixes into the boot.wim and install.wim of your Win7 Image? This way it would be very easy to replace the generic MS NVMe driver after having completed the OS installation by the better Samsung one.
