Why does the shortcut created by my MSI installation start the setup process every time?

I created my MSI installer for our C # application through VS 2008. I installed it. He created a shortcut for me on the desktop. I clicked on this shortcut, the installation process started again, and at the end our application was launched. This was not the case yesterday, as I added some custom actions to create the database. I did not recreate the shortcut in the installer. why is that so?

MSI comes with an automatic repair feature that checks if all the components installed by MSI are still present when the application starts using the shortcut.
