Still Permission problem.  One thing I can't understand that the
directory /.ies4linux is already there?  Why it needs to create it?

$ ls -al ~/.ies4linux
total 40

"/drive_c/windows" are not there.  Shall I create them?  What shall be
their owner and permission?

$ cat /tmp/reg.patch.log 
wine: the '/.ies4linux/ie6' directory specified in WINEPREFIX doesn't
exist.
You may want to create it by running 'wineprefixcreate'.

Started IE6
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Settings;
MS VM is not there, only java (Sun)
