smartdashboard.exe not working
well, my students want to learn Java over the summer and figure out if they want to make a break from LV. Things are going generally well (really well!), but having a SmartDashboard problem.

Downloaded the 1.05 Smartdashboard installer from WPI and installed it. Followed instruction to modify FRC DS Data Storage.ini. Don't get the SmartDashboard (any dashboard!).

So, I go to \Program Files\SmartDashboard and double click on the .exe. Nothing happens.

Open a command window, cd there and run it. Nothing.

java -jar SmartDashboard.jar brings it up.

What did I do wrong so that Smartdashboard.exe does not work? Running Windows 7 64-bit....
