How the hell did U get the driver only installer?
Teach me, Mastah!
Very easy bro,
Take the exe installer from the one posted on the ASUS website, then replace the drivers with the Floppy driver based download into the same folder
That way, the installer looks for the same file names exactly, only it will install the newer drivers since u have replaced them

On the left side there are files from the official ASUS support site (with installer).
On the right side there are files from Intel's download page (x32 and x64 have the same names).
As you can see they are a little different. I'm afraid that a simple change of names would corrupt the whole installation since the installer would probably look for the original filenames.
Additionally, the official install dir contains files 2KSETUP.ini and TXTSETUP.oem. Don't know for sure if they are needed by the exe installer and need confirmation.

All you need are the files highlighted in red below. The 2KSetup.ini can be left alone from the original ASUS drivers since that only contains Hardware IDs which are identical:
[Common]
HardwareID=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C1
DriverName=Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
HardwareID2=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C5
HardwareID3=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2929
HardwareID4=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3A02
HardwareID5=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3A22
HardwareID6=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B29
HardwareID7=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B2F
HardwareID8=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B22
HardwareID9=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C02
HardwareID10=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C03
HardwareID11=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E02
HardwareID12=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03
HardwareID13=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3
HardwareID14=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C6
HardwareID15=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822
HardwareID16=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_282A
I've always done it this way and it has always worked like a charm
Ok so i have installed the latest chipset driver and then installed this by extracting the zip and then going through device manager and manually updating "Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller". Hope that is the correct way to go about it..
But yea everything seems to have updated fine but i dont have the AIStore process like i did before. Is that normal? It might have been the process for the IRST app which i uninstalled since it is only for RAID setups, but just wondering if that is necessary or not..?

you always have problems uninstalling/installing these chipset drivers
very simple:
1) uninstall previous IRST
2) restart
3) install the new chipset drivers via the -overall -overide switch
4) restart
5) install the new IRST drivers
6) restart twice
how hard is that?
loll i know sorry 😛
I did exactly as you said and i checked in my device manager, both the chipset and IRST drivers have been updated. But for some reason i dont have IAstoreicon.exe process running.. Is this a problem ?
Is IAstoreicon.exe related to the driver or the IRST app ? I think it might be related to the IRST tray icon or something, do you have it on your system..?
Other than that everything seems fine 🙂

Someone shoot me please!!!!!!
DUDE! DID U INSTALL THE IRST DRIVERS FROM THE ZIP FILE I CREATED? OR FROM THE regular downloaded one from Intel?
If you installed them from the ZIP file I included, then it is perfectly normal not to have that iastoreicon.exe because my installer ONLY installs the driver without the useless crap.
If you installed the regular IRST and don't have the iastoreicon.exe, then I don't know I never use the regular installer.
Ah ok then its cool man, i used your zip and had gotten rid of my old IRST app that was installed before..
@Fire, chill mate; he just got confused of things 🙂
@mrwolf, there are two forms of IRST package if you checked out the Intel's download section:
1. the installer versions come with the drivers, full GUI and necessary services. if you install this one, the IAstoreicon.exe, will run and the indicator can be seen at the notification area;
2. the driver-only versions that contain only the drivers (labelled f6flpy-xxx.zip), without all the GUI's and services.
both have the exactly same drivers. and normally we just need to upgrade the drivers.

Yes that is how I made my installer for the new drivers, I replaced the older drivers with the new ones and left the stup and *.ini file since the files names are exactly the same 🙂
