Install it like you would any other program in windows.

You can, but it's an incredably bad idea unless a program you use absolutely 
depends on it.  IE is non-trivial to install in Wine, and IE suffers from a 
large number of security issues making it unsuitable for use by anyone who 
doesn't want to get compromised.  Use Konqueror or Iceweasel (or Firefox) 
instead.
