    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:
    "browseui"="native,builtin"
    "comctl32"="builtin"
    "crypt32"="native,builtin"
    "dispex"="native,builtin"
    "gdiplus"="native"
    "hhctrl.ocx"="native,builtin"
    "hlink"="native,builtin"
    "iernonce"="native,builtin"
    "iexplore.exe"="native,builtin"
    "itircl"="native,builtin"
    "itss"="native,builtin"
    "jscript"="native,builtin"
    "mlang"="native,builtin"
    "mshtml"="native,builtin"
    "mshtml3"="native,builtin"
    "msimtf"="native,builtin"
    "msxml3"="native,builtin"
    "olepro32"="native,builtin"
    "riched20"="native,builtin"
    "riched32"="native,builtin"
    "scrobj"="native,builtin"
    "shdoclc"="native,builtin"
    "shdocvw"="native,builtin"
    "shlwapi"="native,builtin"
    "updspapi"="builtin"
    "url"="native,builtin"
    "urlmon"="native,builtin"
    "usp10"="native,builtin"
    "uxtheme"="native,builtin"
    "wininet"="builtin"
    "wintrust"="native,builtin"
    "xmllite"="native,builtin"
    
    This made IE7 much more functional.
