I was wondering what WBFLASH actually does... Here are some findings...
wbflash.scr is an encrypted parameter file, decrypted data looks like this:
Example 1:

Code:

[BIOSVER]
R0174J3

[CMDLINE]
WinPhlash /BUT_PROG_OFF R0174J3.WPH

[FILES]
PhlashNT.sys
R0174J3.WPH
WinPhlash.exe

[CHECK]
2



?????J3

[END]

    Wbflash requires Sony Shared Library to be installed, which includes the DMI driver.
    Wbflash uses it to get DMI Info.
    
    WPH:
    Part Table included at the end of Sony WPH files describes the flash chips and has a signature PARTTBL.
    Platform descriptor is usually "VAIO " or "VAIO1".
