The usual answer is NO. The reason is that Windows installer files
usually place things where they should be and make appropriate registry
changes. It is not just a simple "install Wine" and play complex
programs.
However, if the program does not make registry changes (and that is very
rare these days) and is just a copy and paste install (even more rare)
then you might be able to run the program from your BOOTCAMP installation.
