You cannot copy an installed program off your machine and expect it to run. The installation process writes changes to the OS and registry that allow it to function...
If you are wanting to make backups of your programs for safekeeping i suggest grabbing your original CD's and copying them as is to a directory named "Programs" on your HDD and then use Nero to burn backups.
