Hmmm, I don't know what wineinstall is for, so I can not help here. I
don't have it either.

This question can not be answered generally. I would say you should
try to install the IE6 with the instructions on Frank's Corner (take
variant three) and try to run you app. natively. Anyway, yes, the IE6 is
runnable native under wine with linux. But plugins sometimes do not
work. You have to try.
