Yes, I can confirm that bug exists, and I already notified the devs. 
For now, the workaround is to always check the game's Properties after the first install and either make sure it points to the actual City Of Heroes app, or change it so it does.

This may apply to a very small number of people, but I hit a hiccup while trying to run the NCSoft Launcher for Mac. The installation went fine (the launcher automatically found my CoH, which is not in /Applications), but I hit immediate errors on launch.
I looked over the error and figured out the issue. At one point, I tried to install Mids in a Crossover Games bottle. Although I delete Crossover Games (I was using a trial just to see if it'd work), I never deleted the bottle. The error made it clear that the launcher was trying to use some files inside the bottle! I deleted the bottle, and the launcher worked normally (wisp aura awarded, too, for people who are worried about that).
I'm not sure exactly what the root problem was, or how unique my configuration is, but I figured it was worth documenting the error.
Quote of the moment: This, too, shall pass.
