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.
