Looks like some bits and pieces have changed and this no longer works.
I got Garmin Express to launch by installing dotnet472 instead of dotnet452 listed above (since I found evidence that this is what the latest version of Express needs). I also skipped the WINEARCH=win32 bit which resulted in a load of warnings but I'm not sure if that made any difference. On launch, Express complained that it couldn't find the right .NET installation (and indeed earlier experiments of mine resulted in it attempting and failing to download 4.7.2), but when I ignored that error it launched fine anyway.
However, after all that, it failed to detect my Garmin Edge 1040 over USB :-(
--"Microsoft .NET Framework required for Garmin Express setup "-- Installation fail. How can i solve that error? please any idea?

NO NEED FOR GARMIN EXPRESS (if your GPS has option to update over WiFi)
I just spent a week trying to run garmin express on linux mint only to find out you don't need it
To put a new map onto a garmin device just copy and paste it:
- need memory card with folder "garmin", paste into this folder. Older devices need the map file to be called gmapsupp.img newer devices take any file name I tried it with OSM maps and with maps bought from garmin. Works perfectly.
To view maps, create way points, route and tracks:
- use QMapShack
