Can you run a program that you installed on wine in windows?

You program looking for "c:\Program Files\". That means "Program Files"
directory on drive c: For wine (in default configuration) c: drive means
~/.wine/drive_c. Or more precisely where ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: points to.

Of corse it does. If you can make program look for it's files somewhere else.
Because that's what you are doing.

And like I've mentioned before, please, don't run programs directly from your
windows drive. That won't make it any better. But that might brake your windows.
