    Hi

    I've seen a couple of posts from people being unable to open the editor from Steam so I decided to make this post.

    I too was facing issues, until I realized that the .exe is inside the game folder, not the editor folder.

    So, don't click "Browse local files" by right-clicking the s&box Editor in Steam. Instead, go to where you installed your main s&box game and you should find sbox-dev.exe.

    Hope this helps someone.

    Right click in steam library on s&box editor -> properties -> in General find Launch Options and type/edit following -> "E:\Program FIles\Steam\steamapps\common\sbox\sbox-dev.exe" %COMMAND% 
    Close the window, enjoy

    Another workaround found on discord:

    1) Make sure you installed sbox before sbox-editor

    2) Close steam

    3) go to your \Steam\steamapps folder

    4) edit appmanifest_2129370.acf and change installdir to "sbox"
