The script "ies4linux" is a shell script that configures an already installed 
application.

The repo apps I am talking about are wine and cabextract.

(I use "repo" as short for "repository".)

If you enable whichever repos that contain wine and cabextract and then just 
"apt-get install wine", you should have everything that you need to run the 
ies4linux script that you download from the Brazilian host.

If cabextract is missing, then you should be able to "apt-get install 
cabextract" and then run the ies4linux script.

I'm sorry if I caused confusion with my previous post and trust that this is 
clearer - but knowing my English, it probably is not.....
