Error trigger: double-clicking 32 or 64 bit version of Editor.exe
Error on launch: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log ..."
My fix:
  1. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable that came with Crysis, located in: "\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis\VCRedist"
  2. Install, or right-click repair, CryEngine(R)2 Sandbox(TM)2.msi, found in "\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis\Sandbox2"
  3. Test by running Editor.exe in the \"Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis\bin32" folder.
My diagnosis: The editor has a dependency on that specific VC++ Redistributable.
At the moment, I can only use 32-bit Sandbox Editor, but I conjecture that installing the 64-bit version will enable the 64-bit version of Sandbox 2 editor to work.
