Why do you want to install DirectX on Wine? Wine has DirectX support. :S
Some games/apps want d3dx9_## DLLs, which are currently stubs in Wine. They are distributed with the DirectX runtime redist, but that doesn't mean you want full DirectX installed.
You don't need to use IE to download DirectX. Windows uses ActiveX in IE to update itself. You can also just download DirectX directly from the internet.
One word: winetricks.
