BIOS update on DELL Vostro 3350

Hi,
i'm looking for made a BIOS update from linux because i don't have window installed. I'm searching for update using hdr file but in the repository seem that for my model there isn't the correct file.
if i run smbios-sys-info-lite and this is the output

Libsmbios:    2.2.26
System ID:    0x04B2
Service Tag:  J6PTGP1
Express Service Code: 41765026501
Error getting the Aset Tag:  unknown error
Product Name: Vostro 3350
BIOS Version: A03
Vendor:       Dell Inc.
Is Dell:      1

so i've to looking for system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x04B2_version_A0x but dosen't exist.
I'm also try to extract the hdr from the windows executable but didn't work too.

wine 3550A08.EXE /writehdrfile /nopause
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xfffff78000000320 at address 0x44603c (thread 002c), starting debugger...

Anyone know other possibility?
if i run the exe with wine it doesn't work at all? or it can damage something?

I do bios updates on my dell using a freedos livecd. The exe updaters work just fine on freedos.
