Don't do that.

Yes, but preferably don't do that, unless you're really sure the software doesn't *require* to be installed (ie. they don't install any libraries or registry components or anything like that). It is still a good idea to copy the no-install-required programs to your Linux partition because they simply work better with Wine on Linux type partitions.
