I had some issues with Wine and Bethesda software installs (morrowind). I received an iKernel.exe startup error. After investigating i found that the Install shield had issues. After hours of trying different things i figured it out.
1.) Using synaptic package manager do a Force Downgrade to Wine 1.0 (whatever version Ubuntu repository has).
2.) Attempt to install.
3.) re-upgrade your package to newest wine version. (current 1.1.12)

Also the link for ies4linux is:

Also your image of the VirusScan2009 Fail just made it to digg.com top 10.

Hi Jim, your post helped me a lot. By the way, in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex I installed IE6 very easy following these instructions: http://bookmarks.honewatson.com/2008/12/17/ie6-internet-exporer-install-ubuntu-ibex-intrepid-wine-tricks/
