In general, the best thing to do is to install the apps separately into 
Wine. You can still use the mounted Windows partition to share data 
files. Many apps install registry entries that you would need to 
transfer from the Windows registry to the Wine registry. Is there some 
reason you are attempting to share this disk space?
