Basically, you could. However, there are a few issues you need to take care of like registry access. Anything that accesses the external system is a point where things may break, but the app will work and every function call should not have to be modified unless it was not used properly to begin with very little exception... The same goes for 64 bits systems which uses an emulation system that may cause problems at one point or another if the original code did not use the recommended ways of doing things.

What I'm saying is that it is perfectly possible to do so, but you will need to test it to insure that it actually does work on each system and maybe change a few things here and there to insure perfect compatibility.
