If you want to fake having it installed, try : winetricks
If this isn't working, I can't help you much, except to suggest installing with playonlinux and then replacing your wine prefix with the ie's prefix, but that would mean you have to reinstall everything.
SOLUTION
2 Options:
Automatically:
copy and paste this into a terminal, and it will download, and place the file into the required directory (can be deduced from the script)
wget "https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/raw/master/files/winetest.cat"; mv winetest.cat ~/.cache/winetricks/ie8/
Manually:
GO to this location (hosted on GitHub), download the winetest.cat file, place the downloaded file in ~/.cache/winetricks/ie8/

The host of that file at http://www.tatanka.com.br now advises
"The new Internet Explorer and Edge can not be run on Wine anymore"
Instead, they recommend
"So Microsoft has its own VMs for this:"
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
"Virtual Box, vagrant, VMWare and others are supported."
