--- Comment #2 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- winetricks -q "ie8 winxp" also works. Mind https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1593 though.
What's interesting to me is, that it behaves different depending on how you run it.
On Win7 VM: Shows an installer inside the web-installer With hack: Asks where to download installer but fails to start it afterwards With ie8: Auto downloads installer without asking and starts it properly
