You don't need to re-install (as a rule). Updates to the vinstall are
typically going to be bug fixes to the installer itself. Updates to
CPX are pushed out automatically independent of the vinstall. New
major features to cpx will usually be preceeded by some kind of notice
(or, the feature will have to be enabled to be active and visible, for
example).
