I have never heard of anything like this before.
Is the EI.config.backup file part of the MSI's file list?
If yes, you could try removing it from the MSI you create to confirm that
this file is not the cause of the Windows Installer thinking that the
application needs to repair/reinstall the app.
Hope this helps
