If you really want to install IE on Ubuntu, you should consider using Wine or PlayOnLinux (which is a front-end).

To install PlayOnLinux from Terminal : 

wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_precise.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

You can also install it from the software center.

Once it is installed, clik the "Add" button and search for IE. Install it and you will be able to launch it. More info on PlayOnLinux here : PlayOnLinux website
