Wine/Winetools: IE6SP1 installation stalls

I searched but did not find an answer, but if this has been answered anyway, I apologize for this unnecessary post.

I'm trying to set up Wine version 20050628-1 from Arch's repositories using Winetools.When I get to IE6SP1, the installation stalls at about 44%. Wine doesn't freeze. I can press cancel button on the installation window, and it exits. The installation just doesn't proceed from 44-47%.

Winetools notifies that it hasn't been tested with that version. Does this happen because of the version incompatibilities, or because of something else? What am I doing wrong?

this has been reported in other forums (for other distro)

You might want to check this link

the web master also provides a tool allowing ppl to install IE with wine, and from what I heard, it works fine with wine0725
