wine users - Aug 2010 - IE8 for wine?

Hi all. I am running Ubuntu 10.04. There are a few sites that I need to view,
that require Internet Explorer. For some reason that I'm sure I have a
strong dislike for. So, I downloaded IE8 for windows XP, from the internet. And,
I installed it with wine. But for some reason, when I go to
Applications>Wine>Programs, it just isn't listed. I can't open it
if I can't get to it, right?

Well, to see if it actually installed successfully, I went to
Applications>Wine>Uninstall Wine Software. And it listed Internet Explorer
as something that I could uninstall. It even had the little IE logo and
everything.

So how can I get it to actually launch IE8? Anyone have any idea?

IE8 doesn't work in Wine. IE7 is buggy but somewhat functional. Install it
with winetricks.

You don't need menu items to run anything in Wine. You can run things from a
terminal.
