@Fernando,
Here the screenshots after a clean uninstall operation followed with a reinstall RST Software operation. (PC reboots were respected):

However, the RST appli crashes when launch:

For the 2nd Controller, you can observe the RST enterprise Software v4.5.6.1006 works fine:

(However you can see the Entreprise Software Version information (v4.5.0.2072) does not match the right Enterprise Software version (v4.5.6.1009) I have properly installed...

Do you think the fact there are 2 different independant SATA controllers on board (non enterprise and enterprise) the both RST Software and RSTe Software have some difficulties to work properly, which should be a major misconception.. ?

You are right. I have already realized that, when I unzipped the package, which has been published by Station-Drivers.
As you can see here, the original installer is v4.5.6.1009:

But the included "Applications" are all dated 12/23/2015. It seems, that Intel has done something wrong, when they built the installer.

Yes, that is what I think as well.

@Fernando,
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate.
I have done this ultime test:
A Fully uninstall of both RST and RSTe software applications (multiple reboots), then install only the RST software application and reboot.
The RST install operation does report no error, however at launch I got the same application crash issue.

So, at the moment I did not found a workaround solution to check/set the sensitive iRST RAID parameters for RAID performance optimization on this X99 platform.

The complete 5.0.0.2192 installer is the "IATA_CD.exe" that is included, it can be extracted with Wix toolset.

Thanks for the info.
I have successfully extracted the IATA_CD.exe by using the run command

1
 
IATA_CD.exe -extract <path>

But I didn't find any installer or specific Intel RSTe Software within the extraction folder.
I will try it again as soon as possible with the Wix Toolset.

Yes, "-extract" will only extract the drivers, for the full package "dark.exe" from Wix toolset is required.

1
 
C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.10\bin>dark c:\intel\IATA_CD.exe -x c:\intel\rste5

The paths are of course only for example.

I don`t get whether v5.0.0.2192 supports X79 chipset...
Since I moved to Win10 I restrict myself from trying RTSe drivers because they always were less performant than RST ones whenever I tried them on Win7 and Win8.1. As for RST ones I am reluctant because OS kernel was changed since Win7, plus default Win10 drivers finally started to work in MSI mode.

According to the HardwareIDs, which are listed within the iaAHCI.inf, the Intel RSTe drivers v5.0.0.2192 should support X79 chipsets.

Which OS - Win8 or Win10? Did you compare performance on RSTe v5.0.0.2192beta with generic MS drivers or RST ones?

I am on Win10 now and its generic drivers could be more performant than RSTe ones. When I was on Win7 and Win8 RSTe drivers were always slower then RST drivers.
