understanding an emulator

[René L. Reingard]

Vince,
could you kindly make me understand the followiing topic.

an emulator like WINE or WMware is:

a.) running  a program ("name_of_application".EXE-file) from the source,  
where this program originaly got fully installed - like Dreamweaver which  
is installed on a partition (Windwos XP) on my harddisk. most probably you  
may have to make some settings - like for DLL's - to make it run.

or

b) the installation of a certain program on an other partition on the disk  
is not at all "attractive" for WINE or VMware, as you have to install  
every single program under WINE or VMware again.

which of those two is now true?

regards for clearifying that

René
