Yeah, I just don't get the point of that.  Sure, I understand that there's
some value to having multiple wine "bottles" but you _should_ be able to
install one of those IEs into your default wine.

I won't guarantee it'll work, but it's come closer than anything else I've
tried.  Also, I was trying this on the weekend and came across something
about using regsvr to install iseng.dll (though I can't find that reference
now), which got me closer to a working IE install.

One of the best bug reports on the problem I found at WineHQ was closed with
the completely unhelpful message to "google for how to install IE" (never
mind that there was a genuine bug that needed fixing...).
