Aww... yes, I'm seeing that too
According the the wine application database (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=469) some settings help it get a bit further, but it reports: "Microsoft Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."
(With a "debug" button)

With these messages:

Hitting "debug" crashes as an unimplemented function in urlmon is called - that seems weird, as it should be using the native version of urlmon... oh well

I guess you need to use ies4linux to get a working IE for now.
I had it installed as some program thought it needed it - hadn't noticed it didn't actually run

Thanks again for corresponding with me on this. (i realize there's
much text here, so please take you time, get to it when you can...)

for the link, just think: "this dude is such a 'NOVICE'!! he really
should take more 'NOTES'!!!..."
get it? novicenotes? hee hee
then a text search (upper right) of WinE ie will get you there, undoubtedly.

but that's not why i am writing. i wanted to let you know that the
"genuine" installer,
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.ms...
did not succeed in placing a useable software on the system. it seemed
to "install" just fine, but launching it:
[ wine '/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe' ]
brings up a window w/ nothing but "white space". as if it "wants" to
launch, but doesn't quite get there.

when ie was installed via "ies4linux", i DID experience a similar
activity, but only if i launched IE via WinE application link, for
example, if i linked to IE from... say EditPlus, as an external
browser, i would get the same: a window w/ nothing in it-- as you
might see after an app has crashed, the window's still up, but no
screen-updating, so you get a "frozen" image, or white screen. so, the
only time i've ever seen it look "right" myself was using the
"non-standard" ies4linux launcher, as i've illustrated specifically,
here some time ago (showing the 3 versions of IE in that package):
http://digisquirrel.blogspot.com/2006/08/fiddlers-three.html

please understand that i want to install it the proper, WinE
developers' recommended way, so this is why i continue to research the
subject (and continue to probably annoy you, for which i apologize).
What might i be doing wrong? i noticed in my blog entry-- (a different
one this time) http://novicenotes.com/2006/08/04/ie_on_linux_wine/
where i discussed DCOM98.EXE . i haven't actively installed that
component this time-- so unless it came down w/ the MS installer,
might i need to have that installed as well?

any other feedback you have on this subject is appreciated. perhaps
you have  URL w/ the preferred, WinE dev's method? (assuming it's
"okay [legal]" to do the MS installer)

thank you for your generous help!!
--Jeff Sabarese

PS. I apologize if it's been an invasion-- i thought i mailed to the
"list" last time, but it looks like i sent just to you last time? (and
i know i sent only to you this time, so if you wish to forward to the
list, please do so. i have a real problem w/ being not-concise [as
you've noticed, i'm sure], so i tried to spare the other members for
now. sorry i can't seem to shorten things more than i do).

This is a list for discussion of wine development. I suggest you 
continue the discussion on wine-users.

P.S. You might want to pay attention to the appdb entry that you linked 
to, especially the bit about setting DLLs to use native versions.
