So we are to assume that you found the web installer but don't want to
use that.  How much time did you spend searching at Microsoft's download
site (http://www.microsoft.com/download/)?  I found the below page by
searching on "directx 9.0c":

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-
bc6a-9b6652cd92a3
Size = 286KB

This is the web installer (the one that you don't want).  If you look
carefully at that web download page, you'll find the full RT download
that you are looking for (95.6MB in size).  It's a clickable string to
the end-user runtime download page.  Hint: Look under the "Additional
Information" section.
