The first troubleshooting step would be to run it from a command prompt so you can get a crash backtrace:
1) Run cmd.exe. This should open a command prompt to your home directory (C:\Users\...).
2) "cd wpilib\tools"
3) "java -jar SmartDashboard.jar"

This should start up SmartDashboard with console output, printing things like "No Extension Folder" and "platform: /Windows/amd64/". When the crash occurs, you should get a backtrace or at least something output... and post it here!
