DON'T DO THIS! Install them in wine and run them from wine. Don't copy them from windows.
Why not? I have trouble with disk-space (and I had a defect cdrom-drive, hence I installed software on another machine and copied it with the registry entries). And it was working on my old system (I know, some software needs spacial registry entries, and so on, and up to this point, I get every software working with shared files.
Did you do the same for iTunes?
No, Tobi is right, but for you I checked this out: I installed iTunes with wine (no crash, but there were some page faults and a black back, but its running through). Afte that I cd to the iTunes directory and iTunes starts up, with black back (page faults and some other interesting outputs for a own bug, but it doesn't crash totally.
Now I copied it to the ntfs-drive. And, WHOOPS, its starts up (it don't crash, but black back and a error message, that the cdrom-driver is missing, this is a typical "copy" problem for me...) I don't tried to install it with windows and then to start it with wine, yet... But I moved my wine directory so that I get a clean one (this should simulate I had installed it with windows, right?) Then I only get the message that QuickTime was not found.
But I just test this: I copied my games (gta2 and quake3) to another place (home directory) on the ext3 partition (not the wine directory). They start up, too! At this point, I can only say, that its working on ext3, but not on ntfs, independent from which OS I installed the games.
Should I check out anyway if the bug takes effect for me if I install iTunes in windows (vista for me) and try to start it with wine? (but installing Quicktime with wine)
@Dan, Ryan, Lex and Lei, does the bug mentioned by Tobias in comment 9 helps you? It seems to me that you don't do things like me ;-)
