Okay so I don't know how much people actually multiboot or whether you guys can answer this question, but I've been doing it for a long time now.

My problem is that I have 4 partitions. (1 for linux, 1 for xp, 1 for vista, and 1 for Data)

What I been doing is saving all my program files on the Data partition, So I can use them on both Operating Systems without having to reinstall the programs.

However when I install something like an Anti-Virus [Nod 32], it isn't compatible on both operating systems.
It only works if I install it on both operating systems because it add a service to service.msc

Is there anyway that I can share a service folder, so I wouldn't have to double install?

[Note] I was gonna make portable like I did on some other software that come with services, however something like an Anti-Virus is hard because they are constantly updating.
