how does one actually get to install this piece of work?

I'm really sorry if I sound like a nag by posting this, but I'm utterly stunned by the amount of work needed to install this mod, and then even not succeeding...

So here are a few questions,:

1. What is the sequence in which to install if you want to get the 1.4.4 game in English?

2. I got 1.4 installed in \mods directory, but then I have no clue what to do with the sound 1.01 setup, included in the torrent I downloaded.

3. Do I need the other updates or just the 1.4.4 one? (I dled the Full English one)

I played one of the earlier versions when it just came out, but I don't seem to get it to work anymore, so any help is much appreciated!
