I'll start out by asking why not use the Linux version of Real Player? 
They are a bit old, but still work for me on Fedora 7 & 8:

In any case, using a program with ies4linux requires that you set 
WINEPREFIX to point to it. Something like:

WINEPREFIX="/home/myname/.ies4linux/ie6"; wine realinstaller.exe

And then run the program similarly, again with the WINEPREFIX setting.
