The most fundamental difference is in how they are initiated.
Self-healing starts when an application is launched and certain missing/failed components are detected by the application That launches a self-heal automatically. For more information on that, see http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/how-does-package-self-heal
A repair, on the other hand, is a more complete reinstall and is launched outside the application via msiexec .
An explanation of exactly what the difference is would take a bit more space; I think that this is a good starting point.

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
