There are several possibilities here.
When you install Wine it uses ~/.wine directory to store its virtual C: drive. So you can
- back up the ~/.wine directory and if you see the new application is not working restore the copy
- use a temporary "empty" ~/wine/C: directory and see if the app is working and then you install it to your main Wine installation.

I use the first variant. But my ~/.wine directory isn't big at the moment.
