When I try to run ST2, I get a popup:
[Window Title]
C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe
[Content]
C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
[OK]
and looking in the event viewer, I see:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\Microsoft.VC90.CRT.MANIFEST" on line 4. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested. Reference is Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8".

This is on a Server 2008 R2 machine.
edit:
I got ST2 to start by editing the manifest and changing “9.0.30729.1” to “9.0.21022.8”.
