using a windows installation

[anijap at execulink.com]

I'd be very interested in that too.

I wonder, is it possible to do this?
- You boot windows; install the application (thus creating all the
nessesary registeries and dll's).
- Reboot with linux, and run that application under wine.

I always wanted to do that and I wonder if it's possible.

It's not only about the registeries and dll's. I'm forced to use windows
from time to time so it would be nice that I can install only one copy of
the application and be able to run it in linux (and saving some disk space
in the process)
