This at least allowed me to display the initial web page in Wine's Iexplore.

I think this is probably wandering off-topic, but I'll toss it out there...

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. That means you run Windows programs
on WIndows VMs, and Linux programs on Linux VMs. Don't try to use Wine
to run Windows programs on Linux; and don't try to use a POSIX
subsystem to run Linux programs on WIndows. Mixing and matching is not
worth the aggravation.

You never stated what problem you are trying to solve. I'm guessing
there's a native Linux replacement for it so you don't need to wine
and iexplore.
