Additional Comments
Couldn't get this to work in "regular" Wine. I had to install IEs4Linux, then download and install the Reader via IE6. This put the Reader in the .ies4linux folder tree rather than the normal Wine installation. Everything worked from that install, but the Reader crashed after 5 minutes of reading and would not restart.
