IE8 doesn't work in Wine. Use IE7, and install it with winetricks.

IE8 WILL NOT WORK WITH WINE.  There are too many dll dependencies for now.

You learned this lesson the hard way, sorry.  You will have to start all over
again and install IE7 through winetricks this time.

IE8 works mostly fine for me. I cannot use the search bars at all but setting
google as the homepage is a nice workaround for that. If you're purely using
it for testing purposes it works fine.

To the OP, I followed the exact guide you did. However, I installed IE6, then
IE8 (both through winetricks) because of a comment made in a test result for IE8
in the AppDB. After installing both through winetricks and adding any necessary
DLL overrides from the tutorial I just switched the names of the .exe's in
the ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer to have IE6's .exe (the
one in caps) to something different, and IE8's to iexplore.exe. For my
version of wine, 1.2, I didn't have to download the additional DLLs from
winetricks that the tutorial suggests.

As for the log you provided, I can not give any specific help to you but I do
encourage you to seek a way to make things work if you want to. There's no
reason you can't mess around with things and try. As a back up you may
decide to use IE7 instead, but if you want to use IE8 give it a shot!

Best of luck.

winetricks IE8 does NOT install IE8, it 'fakes' the install by setting a
few registry keys to make web sites think you have it installed.  The same
trickery can be applied to Firefox and Chrome (although the results can be most
interesting.)

IE7 IS installed by winetricks IE7.  However, there are calls that IE7 makes to
the underlying 'operating system' that we don't support, yet.

That's interesting.  Winetricks ie8 really does install ie8 (James is 
mistaken), but the installed ie8 doesn't work.  If you've gotten it 
working, then maybe we can fix winetricks ie8 to do the same thing
you did.

Since you mentioned installing ie6, then ie8, I tried doing
  winetricks ie6 ie8
but the resulting ie8 just sits there.  How does that differ from what you
did?

I'm having the exact same problem, has anyone experienced this and what have
they installed/done/copied over to fix it?

Thanks...
