-Clean install of SH3 (using Steam)
-Create folder named "patch" in Silent Hunter 3 directory
-Copy and paste SH3.exe out of the root Silent Hunter 3 folder into "patch" folder.
-Install GWX
-Apply Hsie. patch to SH3.EXE in "patch" folder.
-Apply Tycho patch to SH3.EXE in "patch" folder.
-Apply 4GB patch to SH3.EXE in "patch" folder.
-Copy and Paste SH3.EXE from "Patch" folder to "Silent Hunter 3" folder, replacing the one that starts the game.
-Enabled relevant mods with JGME
-Start game, (with compatibility mode set in properties to Windows XP (service Pack 2) or Windows Vista)

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone who has done it differently, but that's how I have them installed and it apparently works for me currently.
It works is all that matters, but GWX does nothing to the .exe file.
