I want to replace a portable program launcher. I have to extract the .exe Launcher with 7-Zip 9.34 alpha, which has better support for NSIS, than older versions.
I unpacked the $PLUGINSDIR and .nsi script using extract here command with 7-zip. I did it with a lot of portable programs. But recompiling script gives same error: "WriteRegStr expects 4 parameters, got 8." How to fix this issue, or maybe bug?
Why NSIS can't compile the same .nsi script?

It's because that isn't the actual script that was used to compile, it's a reconstruction, reverse engineering by 7zip. There are likely to be problems with compiling it. I wasn't aware of this functionality in alpha, I didn't test but it actually looks pretty good compared to some other attempts, close to a humanly written script.
"WriteRegStr expects 4 parameters, got 8." sounds like there are quotes missing somewhere. You can try and fix it but there can easily be other problems.
