Description
I think what is happening is that clicking the "repair" option tries to re-launch the installer with a new command line argument for installing Explorer integration; however, the installer file that it's looking for (exe file that contains the version number in the name) is different from the actual installer file "keybase_setup_386.exe".
To get around the issue, I can just select the keybase_setup_386.exe file and click "Open".
I'm assuming that the installer was renamed at some point, but the "repair" option was not updated to use the new installer name.

Research direction
Start by locating the Repair action and the installer lookup for Explorer integration, then compare the expected versioned executable with keybase_setup_386.exe. Reproduce the failure with “show files in Explorer” enabled; done when Repair launches or opens the correct installer without requiring manual file selection.
