Could I use Linux to copy the Windows program exe files etc to the Windows fake partition created by qemu and then go into Windows under qemu and then get it to install the software?

For many pieces of software that scheme would work, but for "copy protected" discs it will fail.  These so-called 'copy protected' discs deliberately put bad data on the disc and a special program is loaded at install time to read the disc (and also to ensure that the bad stuff is there). For example, a naive attempt to back up 'Flight Simulator' will result in bad checksums etc.
