I have downloaded the .cab files from somewhere. There is a page that
lists which cabs you need, and just google for the filenames.

I proceeeded further by installing the required dcom lib too. And at the
end everything seemed to be in place but executing "wine iexplore.exe"
bombed out with some kind of wine error that I couldn't solve.

I was using a recent version of wine from debian unstable, even tried
earlier versions.

Eventually I gave up and now I'm using rdesktop with an extra XP box.
