Do yourself a favor: don't do this. At best, some of those apps might
work, but many of them need access to the Windows registry. Wine has its
own registry, and can't read the native Windows registry (and never
will, so don't ask). So many apps won't work. At worst, you could bork
your Windows install, which is not so nice.

So, I reiterate: don't do this. Instead, you should try to install those
apps directly in Wine, the same way you would in Windows itself (i.e. by
running their respective installers).
