I found out that if you use "ies4linux" (which installs 4 ie versions) and a 
few steps Yahoo! Messenger 8 will install all the files including .exe's but 
still won't run.

Step taken are as follows:

Step 1:

download the ies4linux-2.0.3.tar.gz from 
http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/download.html
Keep in mind the version numbers may be different

put it in your home directory

Step 2:

'cd ~'
'tar -xf ies4linux-2.0.3.tar.gz'
'cd ies4linux-2.0.3'
'./ies4linux'

That will install it. Just keep all the default settings

Step 3:

Open up say konqueror and goto ~/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows
Select all files and copy them. Then goto ~/.wine/drive_c/windows
Now paste all the files and make sure you overwrite any existing.
For some reason the subfolder 'syste,' didn't want to copy over so
I had to go to ~/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows/system and select
all files and copy them. Then goto ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system and 
paste the files. 

Step 4:

Finally goto yahoo.com and find a copy of yahoo~ Messenger 8 and copy it
to where ever and then 'wine ~/whereEver/msgr8us.exe'
and watch it install with WAY less warnings as before.

But it still doesn't run but at least it installs
