Why would auto-repair be kicked?

We are seeing that the auto-repair is being kicked off occasionally for our application. Probably some files etc get corrupt or so..

But is there a way to find the exact reason (the trigger) why an auto-repair is kicked off when an application is running? Thanks!

The Event Viewer (Control Panel > Administrative Tools) might help you figure out what is wrong.

are you manually placing files on the machine after installation or removing them? if so windows installer will notice the different files and try to repair its self.

No, this issue turned out to be related to an assembly we install in GAC. The following articles helped me figure this out.
