IIRC this is caused by the IE installer overwriting regedit.exe via the 
symlink in the virtual windows drive with a PE equivalent, which Wine 
then fails to parse and the install deadlocks.

I'm not sure how to solve this in the code, but for now Joaquin I'd 
recommend reinstalling Wine itself, making sure all the Wine files 
wherever you installed them to are read only, and the trying to install 
IE again.
