Hi Woof
What you need to is get a clean un-modded installation of SH3 and make a copy of it.
You now have a backup copy which you never add anything to it.
At this point there is no saved game folder until you go to the Naval Academy which is fine as you do not need to do that with this backup copy.
Making a backup copy means you will never need to do another installation download.
You always have the backup copy to take another copy from it, as and when, you want to use it for whatever purpose.

SH3 does not like Windows 10
Run all your applications JSGME, SH3Comander as administrators including the SH3.exe in the HSIE mods folder along with HSIE application.
Both of the SH3.exe should be run in compatibility mode for Windows 7.

Hi Berbster,

Thanks for your patience. Many years ago I did some modding for SH2 and later in the beginning with SH3 before the supermods came along and I was completely out of my league. :-)

However, since then I had always used a fresh clean installation of SH3, and I have had a pretty good idea what to expect, and how to treat mods with or without JSGME. That's why I was so puzzled that I couldn't get it to work.
But if you say Windows 10 an SH3 don't get along too well, I will stick with Windows 7. That's no problem at all. I always keep an extra partition with the older OS for cases such as these.

As I said: LSH3 works flawlessly with my Windows 7.
