No it's not supposed to work in Wine. Wine has it's own IE replacement. And 
all effort goes towards making that 100% drop in replacement in all cases.

If you still want to use native IE - use programs such as ies4linux to 
install it _outside_ default WINEPREFIX. However don't bother reporting any 
problems with IEs ran that way. As lots of Wine libraries being replaced 
with natives. Such configurations are not supported.
