these are the steps that i followed

1. Download and install NSIS, or download my NSIS Portable Development Test. If you use the NSIS Portable, you will not have to worry about missing plugins because I included all of the ones required for compiling Portable Apps.

2. Rename the original splash screen to anything (i.e. FirefoxPortable_old.jpg)

3. Move your new splash screen into the /Other/source/

4. Rename your new splash to FirefoxPortable.jpg

5. Open the NSIS menu and click the link for the compiler

6. Open the FirefoxPortable.nsi script with the compiler

7. Check out FirefoxPortable now using your new splash screen

You're missing the registry

You're missing the registry plugin.

Extract it to App\NSIS

NSIS Portable

If you use NSIS Portable you won't get any of these error messages. NSIS Portable is what all these are built with.
