I'm afraid that it's best to just install again. If you have some command line skills, you can
arrange to share your 'steamapps' folder via a symlink. However, that would require having your Windows partition
be mounted read/write, which I don't generally recommend. A shortcut would be to just copy the appropriate .gcf
files from your Windows steamapps folder into your CrossOver one. (On linux, look in ~/.cxoffice; on the Mac
it's Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/<bottle>)

Cheers,

Jeremy

Not sure if you have already sorted this or not, but what I would do is install STEAM in your crossover games, then run it once, and then copy the files from the steam folder on your wine installation. This might work. I hope so, I'll be doing that myself very shortly.

An addenum to my above post. It worked perfectly :)
