You might try these instructions:

or you might install WineTools, which should be able to install IE for you:

Sidenet also claims to be able to install IE for you:

And Crossover Office most certainly will install it (IE is a supported
application). CX is a commercial application, but a free trial is
available on the site:

That said, is it strictly necessary for you to install IE at all? If you
need it installed to support another application that requires it, or
you want to make sure that webpages you design display correctly using
it, that's one thing... but using IE as a default web browser is not
likely to work well. So if that's what you want it for, don't expect
good performance, certainly not when compared to any of the native Linux
web browsers likely to be already installed on your system or available
to be installed via your package management (Konqueror, Mozilla,
Firefox, Epiphany, Galeon, Links, Lynx, elinks, Dillo, etc).

Hope this helps,
