You don't have to manually copy a file from a Windows installation now
either.  You can find this file on the internet, but to legally use it

Earlier, you didn't have to "find the file on the internet" either.

Anyway, I've "reverse-engineered" ies4linux and came up with this short and simple instruction for installing IE:

$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/IE_S5.CAB
$ cabextract -L IE_S5.CAB
$ cabextract -L -F inseng.dll ie_5.cab
$ rm -rf ~/.wine ie_5.cab IE_S5.CAB
$ wineprefixcreate
$ cp inseng.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/ie6setup.exe
$ wine ie6setup.exe

But one problem remains: When running:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE

Wines built-in Internet explorer starts. How can it be disabled? I've tried:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=iexplore.exe=n

and even renaming /usr/lib/wine/iexplore.exe.so, without luck.
