Inside the file gecko, I now have the files 'mirrorproblem?failmirror=iweb.dl.sourgeforge.net' and wine_gecko 1.4x86.msi. It says the files don't have a run action command, though when I click on them.

First, did you upgrade Wine to 1.3.35 as I told you to? If you didn't, the version of wine-gecko you downloaded will not work with the old version of Wine you said you had installed.

Second, assuming by "a blank file gecko" you really meant "an empty  directory named gecko," is the full path to the directory you created /usr/share/wine/gecko? That's where Wine will look for gecko; creating a "gecko" directory somewhere else will not work.

Third, you don't run the msi file directly; Wine uses it to install gecko to the wineprefix. You run Wine's iexplore by typing 

Code:
wine iexplore


at the command line.
