Irfanview Reinstall Going Wrong

I had to remove an Irfanview bottle, then reinstalled Irfanview and Plugins (32 bit).

Now, everything seems wrong, especially with trying to open a picture file (jpg) by double clicking.

It seems to be trying to open i_view32 and crossover at the same time, and it hangs.

The only way I can get it to work is to open crossover, open the irfanview bottle, and clicking on the icon itself. Obviously this isn't the best way to go for
a picture viewer.

Any thoughts?

Update: It appears the issue may be beyond the installation of Codeweavers. I want to open irfanview when double clicking on .jpg files.

I did this long ago by exposing irfanview to the Applications folder, which allowed me to change what opens by doubleclicking .jpg files using getinfo.

Now, however, the new security features prevent this, even with Ctrl-Click, because Apple now looks at each file as its own application.
