[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

export WINEPREFIX=/home/morty/.local/share/wineprefixes/ie
winetricks ie8
winetricks ie8_kb2936068
wine "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
You then need to turn down all security options (Tools -> Internet Options -> Security)
