1. Copy and paste the following into a terminal:
cat > /tmp/IE8.reg <<EOF
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"TabProcGrowth"=dword:00000000
EOF
regedit /tmp/IE8.reg
2. Run winetricks -q urlmon mshtml
This may work, it may not. Try winetricks.

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)
