By far the easiest way to get IE running is to use ies4linux:
http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page

It runs under regular wine, and creates a new fake windows dir to 
install into, leaving your normal ~/.wine strrictly alone. By default 
it installs IE5, 5.5 and 6 but you can select which discrete versions 
you want.

Debugging something in wine (or crossover) requires command line and 
channels to be set so you can see what's happening. You are likely to 
get better results from the wine mailing list (www.winehq.org) than 
here, but to start what is the last 20 or lines from

WINEDEBUG=+loaddll /command/to/install/ie
