The latest wine does not install IE6 and hasn't done so for many 
versions. I never investigated it further, as I got the same 
completely unhelpful error messages from ie6setup.exe.

I do recall getting it working once, using a version around 0.9.6 or 
so. There doesn't seem to be any info on winehq.org about this so all 
I can suggest is download the sources for each version in turn and 
compile them till you find one that works.

Crossover Office works with IE6 though - it might be worth your 
while to pay the small fee to use Crossover.
