Recently installed games not showing in Crossover Games Programs menu

I purchased The Orange Box while out today (was at half price, could not resist even though i have it on 360 already).

Anyway entered the CD key and Steam started downloading them, as usual, but Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2 have not appeared in the Crossover Programs menu. I did click on the "create start menu shortcuts" option in Steam, and i have tried both a refresh and a clear and rebuild of the programs menu (via the Configure menu). Any ideas on how to force them to appear? From a snoop around the Steam bottle the start menu entries are present and correct, if that helps any :)

(Portal was purchased previously, & that and other games installed via Steam have appeared in the menu fine)

Hmm. That should have worked automatically. This might help:

  • From the Programs menu, select Run Programs
  • Select the bottle with Steam in it from the pop-up
  • Toggle open the Debug Options section of the dialog
  • Click Open Shell, this will open a new Terminal window and configure it for use with CrossOver Games and your Steam bottle
  • In the Terminal window, type:cxmenu --sync --mode install
