From what you imply, Jinx, it seems to me you're trying to open the MSEs with the LMMS VST host.
The MSEs simply seem to contain instrument information. Therefore, trying to run the MSE from the VST dialogue will not work.
What you need to do is first ensure the instrument folder and the .dll are in the same folder. This may seem obvious, but is important anyways. the dll should not be IN the instrument folder- for anyone who tries this out in the future. It should be beside it.
In LMMS, from the VST host, open the DLL, not the MSE.
The .dll is the vst, and it will look at the MSEs and itself load the instruments.
I apologize if you already did this, but I hope I help.
(Now that I read your first message, I realise you already tried opening the DLL.)
(Also, about your points: it isn't Windoez deciding that .mmps are documents, it's LMMS deciding they're documents. Also, it isn't Windoez getting 'confused' about extensions, because it blindly sends the extension to whichever app it is configured to run with. If it is unconfigured, it will probably throw a dialogue box asking for configuration. In this case, it is the Sonatina VST's job to interpret the MSEs correctly.)
