Does the dialog give you a file browser to find it?

Did you install the game in your Applications folder? That's where apps typically go.

From the finder do cmd-F and search for "americas army" or whatever.

i now have applied it to the applications file but it still asks me? is it anything to do with me choosing to download "americas army 2.5 to 2.5a patch"? instead of the other two options, "bittorent" and "IMG Pro only" ????

Just to make things clear - Are you having trouble applying the patch, or just getting the game to work?
