Create a (Windows type) Instance of an application in Linux

[IGGt]

The background:

I have some old Windows Applications that I need to get running in a Wine environment on Linux. I have got to the point where I can start the application and it runs fine. However I can only run one copy of the application at a time.

The Problem:

In Windows, I can run multiple copies of these applications by creating 'instances' of them. e.g. I create a shortcut, then right click > properties and in the target window I add an instance name to the end. (e.g. c:\folder\myApp.exe test1 creates an instance called test1).

In the background each instance creates it's own entries in the windows registry which I guess allows it to function independently of the main application.

Is there a way of doing something similar in Linux?

Install it again to a different wineprefix.
