Any ideas on how to get the SmartDashboard to automatically run under Win 7 would be appreciated.
I have two PCs. Running the DriverStation on the Win 7 PC with Java Dashboard selected does not open up the SmartDashboard. Running on Win 8.1 does. Note manually going to C:\Users\UserName\wpilib ools\ and double clicking SmartDashboard.jar does open the SmartDashboard up.
Both PCs have SmartDashboard.jar located in C:\Users\UserName\wpilib ools.
Win 8.1 has “FRC DS Data Storage.ini” under C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC.
Win 7 has “FRC DS Data Storage.ini” under C:\Users\Public\Documents\FRC. IE explorer shows it under C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\FRC though using CMD there is only “Documents” in the folder name.
Software on the Win 7 laptop was downloaded and installed on 2/13/2016 while the Win 8.1 laptop was updated just after kickoff. I did find a 2013 copy of SmartDashboard on the Win 7 laptop that I’ve uninstalled after installing this year’s software.
Within FRC DS Data Storage.ini we have the same information on both machines.
[Setup]

Thank you
