I installed a game using Winebottler. The game is being run through DosBox, and the entire installation goes fine. However, when I go to run the game (by double-clicking the game's icon in my MAC OS finder), it wants to re-install.

Thing is, the Setup Wizard tells me that the game is already installed, and asks me if I want to overwrite. I can see the game in the emulated Windows directory, but it's not appearing in my MacOS directory.

Any ideas what might be happening?

Are you running the installer executable or the actual application itself? What game is it that you are trying to run?
