VB.NET Setup Project/Installer Clas

I've just built my first project in VB.Net (using Visual Studio 2005) that requires custom actions on install. To achieve this I've added a Windows Installer class to the custom actions of my Setup Project. All works fine, the application installs and the custom actions are carried out as planned (this basically consists of moving some files and changing a couple of registry entries). However, if I close the application and restart it it basically reinstalls itself and runs the installer class again. If I move or rename the original MSI package the application won't run at all, generating an error and asking for the location of the MSI package. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? The MSI package is only supposed to be a one-off installer, the application shouldn't rely on it to run! If I remove the custom installer class this doesn't happen so it has to be related to that, I just can't figure out exactly why.
