Simple answer - you can't:

There are some ways how to share binary files between different users, but you can not share everything. In other words, stuff installed under "c:\Program Files" could be shared, but all other data, including registry can not.

If you do, you are 'on your own' We do not and cannot support Wine
installations that used third party installers. This is true for
POL/POM, WineSkin, Bourdeaux, and even the Web Site sponsor's product,
CrossOver. The ONLY product that we can support is Wine, installed
machine by machine.

Is there not a free application for this?
because I was not able to buy it.

Buy what? Plain Wine is free...

You should be able to install whatever application you're installing by running it with Wine. From there, you can look up "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program files" and copy the software you installed to other prefixes. Unless it's something that highly depends on the registry, like a lot of Microsoft products, this will probably work just fine.
