First, it's very difficult to find all the visible pieces of complex software applications. They're sometimes in directories other than the application's main one (the C:\Windows directory, for instance). Second, application installs often store critical bits of information in a huge system file called the Registry. It's usually not possible to pull out all the pieces you need, and it's impossible to copy the Registry from one machine to another without wrecking the second machine. And that's assuming you want to move it to Windows running on a Mac. To the Mac OS itself -- not a chance. Sorry.
