What works
Unpacker. The installer works somewhat if started manually. It can get to the "installing components" screen if Windows version is set to Windows 95 in winecfg.
What does not
Installation fails at the installing components screen in Win95 mode, and sooner than that in WinXP mode.
Workarounds
What was not tested

This note was originally added to IE Version 5, but may be relevant to all versions.
Don't run IE on an RW mounted DOS partition !
Pretty problematic directory renaming/corruption can happen.
This seems to happen if Wine doesn't have access to certain Windows registry keys.
Renames e.g. "Program Files" to "$!$!$!$!.pfr" and does other horrible things.
BTW, it does not only happen with IE, as it seems to be a generic Windows
Setup process of Explorer which is doing this, which can be launched
under multiple circumstances.
To be safe, use a backup copy only, i.e. copy all relevant windows files over
e.g. to an ext2 partition.
