You need to lose that fear.  If you break something, 
recovery is easy.  Run the system under a hypervisor 
and recovery is very easy.  Also, follow the advice 
to build the fresh system in a second volume.  If it 
fails to boot, just boot again from the primary volume 
and fix the error.  (Multiple volumes courtesy of 
Pieter M.?  Boot Manager courtesy of Andreas F.  Thanks!) 
That way there is no risk of reinstallation.  When you 
are convinced that the fresh system is OK, copy it to 
the primary volume.  Some of these notes might help.

I'll add the other zips you mentioned.

> ... before clicking on Release.Build?

Try it before getting Build.zip and SourceB.zip. 
I expect nothing worse than an error message. 
You will see what data is absent.  Add and try again.

> What is there in ... System.zip?

Retrieve it and click here ==> ZipTool.Directory \d System.zip ~

P.s. I wrote,
> If running under a hypervisor, just restart the virtual machine.

I should have said, If you crash the system on a hypervisor, 
restart it.  If you break the system on a hypervisor, rebuild or 
reinstall it.  If you work with two volumes (or parts) as mentioned 
above, breaking the primary system is almost impossible.
