I needed to reflash a Sony VAIO BIOS flash with an external programmer. I have had no contents for that so I have had to extract it from the vendor BIOS upgrade.
Unfortunatelly my update did not put the ROM file to the %temp% folder as it is suggested here:

I have fired up the ProcessMonitor and it helped me to figure out where is it:

So always look for the ROM file in the C:\ProgramData\Sony Corporation\Sony Packaging Manager\PackagingTemp while the updater is running.
