Thank you!
@J-P Simard: I have tried with IE 7, but this program does not actually work. With IE 8 it starts but stops when tried to register.
@Mike: Please let me know if you find out anything else. I have tried using it on Ubuntu, Mint and Elementary OS as well. Everywhere it shows same exception.
Another little thing crossing my mind - I changed architecture to 32 bit by :
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/aniketg/prefix32'
fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.

err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x10ee8a0, overlapped 0x10ee8ac): stub

Still receiving same error..
