How to use Wine, How to get Gecko to install and work

Hi,

Does anyone know of really simple but comprehensive instructions on how to use and configure Wine, that you can send me links to?

Does anyone know how to solve the below issue:

$ wine iexplore
Could not find Wine Gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
010c:err:mshtml:create_document_object Failed to init Gecko, returning CLASS_E_CLASSNOTAVAILABLE

(Of course in iexplore the web page "https://www.winehq.org/" is blank)

This is just one of many examples of how really don't know how to configure Wine once it has been installed, and I have run "wine winecfg".

I have found many people reporting this issue on the Internet, but never an answer that resolves the issue for me.
