Can't find bottle after install

I installed an unsupported application (WinRAR) which seems to have completed successfully.

How do I launch it? The "Run Installed Software" option on the front pane of Crossover is grayed-out. I can use the Open menu command to navigate to the folder containing the folder "WinRAR" at <user>/Library/Application Support/Crossover/Bottles, but what now? The navigation windoid says "Open file with WinRAR". Now I'm totally confused: I'm supposed to open an application I just installed using the application I just installed?

How do I run the application?

I've removed the previous version of Crossover and reinstalled twice. And I've done the application install twice now with the same result.

Also, if I'm given a choice to install either a 32- or 64-bit app, which should I install? (This time I installed the 64 version.)

Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks!

Crossover 11.3.1
2011 Mini 2.7 GHz dual i7 / 16 GB / 250 GB & 750 GB
OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

There is a CrossTie available for automatic installation of WinRAR:
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=8752

Click on the green Install WinRAR 4.x via CrossTie button, then follow the on-screen
prompts to install. Once installed, you can launch it by selecting WinRAR from the
Programs menu in CrossOver.

Thanks for that link. It installed and seems to be running as expected.

Cheers,
Dave
