Installing IEs4linux from the repos - how to?

Question

I got ies4linux from the repos (I guess community), and ran the script to install IE6. Now when starting it with wine iexplorer.exe it wants to install Mozilla - unfortunately that doesn't work.
[ ~/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer ] wine iexplore.exe

The Aur doesn't really help either.

Same problem here. Did you also get this message when installing IE6?
~/.ies4linux/downloads/ie6/EN-US/SETUPW95.CAB: No such file or directory
I looked for SETUPW95.CAB somewhere else and dropped it in ~/.ies4linux/downloads/ie6/EN-US. After that, I get:
IEs4Linux installations finished!
To run your IEs, type:
ie6
When, after a succesful install, running IE6 as 'ie6', everything just works fine (so far).
EDIT: Unfortunately, I only succeed to start IE6 once. After I close the Wine-application, the terminal hangs and, according to ps, the instance remains open. After closing it the hard way I am not able to start IE anymore, a reinstall using the ies4linux-script is necessary.
