Same goes for the other applications. Then burn everything to a DVD and then place everything where it should go (apllications go to the program files folder and reg keys go into the registry.) Is it even the slightest bit possible that it would work?
Why would you even try to do that? Just get the installer...I mean, how would you not have them? Either you bought the discs, or downloaded the free apps, or got them in alternative ways. So you either have the discs, or you can download the apps again and just install them. Why are you *****footing around here, trying to copy the program folder and the registry keys and then plant them into a new Windows install? As was already stated, it won't work.
