I'm quite new to PlayOnLinux so I got really confused as I tried to install some of my Steam games. I'm using the newest version of this program. I installed Steam by selecting it from the installation list. Everything was installed and Steam runs fine. Now I've clicked on the "Install" tab and I've chose "Counter Strike: Global Offensive". PlayOnLinux opened an installer and added some things like DirectX and so on, but at one point it wanted to install Steam again and the Steam setup window opened. My problem is that I already have steam installed and skipping the setup causes an error... Does anyone know the correct way to add Steam games correctly?

You don't install the games with PlayOnLinux. You will have to install them from within Steam, as they are Steam games.

If you install a game on PlayOnLinux through their list which requires steam. Then it will run the script for installation of that game, install steam for you (windows version), and then the PlayOnLinux script will wait for you to install that game in steam. Afterwards, you will close steam and the script will continue installing the additional files that you need for the game to work. You do not need to install steam beforehand, unless you need just that application specifically.
