You can, but it depends on how much "stuff" you need. For example, if your
applications has documents, you need to update the Windows Registry so that
the document type is displayed properly. Although MC can do this, it is
better served through an installer.

The Windows equivalent of the Preferences folder is the Registry. It is a
single file that holds all the preference settings for all programs on the
PC. You can use 'setRegistry' and 'queryRegistry' commands in MC to set and
get preferences.
