GarminExpress possible on Debian with WINE?

Garmin Express is their proprietary software for updating the

maps on Garmin NUVI (and other models) of GPS units.  It is

available only for Windows and Mac.

I currently have it installed on a Win-7 guest in Vbox on Deian-

Sid.  This works OK but uses a lot of disk space (over 13 Gb).


My question is:  Has anyone been able to successfully install

Garmin Express on Debian using WINE, Play on Linux,

Winetricks or perhaps some other translation layer program?


I also looked at ReactOS for use in Vbox, but I don't believe it is

capable quite yet for newer software like G-Express.


(G-Express needs dotNetframework.  That is where I get stuck when

trying to install it using WINE.)


I switched from Windows to Linux about 4 months ago and this

GPS map updater is the only reason I still keep Windows available.


It may be that I already have the best solution with W-7 in Vbox

but just thought I would ask if anyone has a better solution.
