3.      Check USB drivers once again, whether properly installed or not.
4.      Now move to the zip file folder that you had run the batch file.RunMe.bat‘.

Note from Bin4ry for root: There is a special case for Xperia Sola and Xperia S, P etc. phones, this phones run ICS but don’t have android’s native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom “Backup&Restore” app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the correct option!
