You probably need to install MDAC (some version between 2.1 and 2.5,
I bet).  See maybe

You might need to add a registry key to pretend you have IE installed.
You can do this with, at worst, the commands
$ notepad
$ wineserver -k
$ cat >> $HOME/.wine/system.reg <<"_EOF_"

[Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="6.0.2900.2180"
_EOF_

Also, please ditch winetools and just use plain old wine-0.9.16, at
least when reporting bugs to wine-users.
Winetools should not be needed anymore... it's out of date, anyway, I hear.
