TIP: How to install Garmin Express

CrossOver version 21.1.0
Garmin Express version 7.11

Important! Default Garmin Express install from Install selection menu does not work.

To get it working you need to:

  • Create empty bottle.
  • Ensure you are using 32bit bottle, that is default so no issue here.
  • Set windows version to Windows 7, that is default also.
    In your new bottle:
  • Install "Core Fonts"
  • Install Microsoft .NET 4.72
  • In Wine configuration enable "d3dcompiler_47" library
  • Download Garmin Express from garmin site. Currently tested with version 7.11
  • Install that downloaded Garmin Express into your bottle. When asked about what it is select "Unknown software"
  • When first launched, app displays black screen, workaround is to minimize and activating again.
  • After that found no issues, connects to watch, syncs OK etc.
    Tested with Garmin Forerunner 45S
