It can be hard to ensure you copy over all files needed for a program; 
also, it's likely you have to copy over registry settings - if you 
reinstall a program using wine, all this is done automatically; I think 
the easiest way is to try whether the program installs; if this fails, 
you could try copying the program files from MS Windows yourself
