[Wine] Can't install IE6

Using wine 0.9.58 on Ubuntu 8.04
Like an idiot, I tried to install IE7 before doing the research to find that IE6 was more ideal with far fewer problems.  So after attempting to install IE7 and failing, I tried to install IE6, but in the terminal I get this response after typing wine ie6setup.exe:

Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\ie6setup.exe": Module not found
andrew at andrew-desktop:~$ Warning: the specified System directory L"C:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.

I often (but not always) get an additional pop up box telling me that the install failed because IE7 is already installed.  I've tried removing the dir, uninstalling/re-installing wine, and googling the errors, but so far it's a wash.  Any suggestion you can offer is very much appreciated  :?
