I would recommend an experiment before you continue.

Get into the registry and find the main registry entry for it and export it out to a file.

Copy the contents of the program folder and registry entry to a CD and then transfer it to a different computer. Copy the CD contents across into the same directory path as it was installed in the original computer. Run the registry file to import the registry entries into the new computer's registry. Run the executable. And cross your fingers. Test full functionality of the program to make sure it doesn't try to refer to a missing DLL file or something.

If it works, then you should be able to go ahead with a full reformat. using the burnt CD as a backup of that program.
Very good idea.
