	You need to override iexplore.exe to native (you either can edit the registry 
or use winecfg) and you probably want to override some other libraries too 
(for example you can copy native mshtml.dll to WINE's 
drive_c/windows/system32 directory and set it to native in winecfg). If you 
unsure what libraries you need to override read 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Internet_Explorer_6_SP1#Set_up_overrides .
	Alternatively you can try ies4linux but please not that it's unsupported here 
(by WINE team) and is just a workaround with a lot of bugs and technical 
problems.
	You also may find useful information obtained from +loaddll debug channel. 
For example:

WINEDEBUG=-all,+loaddll wine program.exe

	By definition, overriding of DLLs not shown in +loaddll channel will have no 
effect on the program.

	No matter what approach you choose I recommend you to experiment in separate 
WINE prefix. For example:

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-ie
wineprefixcreate
winecfg

	Then adjust settings in winecfg as necessary. If you will use ies4linux then 
be aware that it will use separate WINE prefix by default (~/.ies4linux/ie6).


	Thank you for using WINE.
