Hello all!

I kindly ask for your help, as I want to start learning how to Mir 3.
Let me tell you what I have done since now (https://goo.gl/images/RrdXTX).
As my PC has Windows 7 Installed, I needed to get VM for XP, so if you want you may download both from MS site:

Virtual PC: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=3702
Windows XP Mode: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002
SQL Server 2000 was downloaded from polish site, still if someone want it, you can get the ISO from here (requires account and some GBs on it):
http://chomikuj.pl/yabolik/Bazy+danych/MS+SQL+Server+2000

Alright so I got everything installed, I was told to download http://mirfiles.co.uk/mir3/LiquidSilver/ things from here, where guide is presented. IF YOU WANT TO USE IT, OPEN THE GUDIE BEFORE YOU'LL START INSTALLING SQL - there are tips for installation (index.html has everything).
Currently I'm at stage 2 - restoring Databases. I got the place, where it's written:


And now the problem begins - as I said, I downloaded LS 3G mud and LS-DB, but after extracting the files, I can see only Cruel Dragon3GData, and the rest required are "missing"? (dunno).

Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong (bad search) or is there something else which needs to be downloaded?
If so - please tell me which of the files I should download from http://mirfiles.co.uk page - as I didn't download nothing more. If you can - please tell me also which client etc. should be downloaded. I'll be more than happy.

What's more - I want to make this post as a total tutorial for total beginners (like me), so they can start to do actually something and they won't ask questions similiar to mine - as I'll write down 1 by 1 what they need to do download and to do, before they should enter LSGuide.
Thanks in advance, awaiting replies or more questions!

Kind Regards, Ben.
