Additional Comments

Installed using WineTricks VERSION=20091125 (IE7).
Downgraded to wine version to 1.1.31 to install jre-6u17-windows-i586.exe.
This is due to a regression in wine 1.1.32 - 1.1.34.
After install upgrade back to 1.1.34.
Added real XP Dll's to system32:
msctf.dll,msimtf.dll,oelpro32.dll,uxtheme.dll,xmllite.dll

Used winetricks to install:
comctl32,comctl32,corefonts,fontfix, gdiplus,msls31,msxml3-4 & 6,riched20 & 30,tahoma,allfonts

Used winecfg to set DLL Overrides:

"comctl32"="builtin"
"crypt32"="native,builtin"
"dispex"="native,builtin"
"gdiplus"="native"
