It's the 9.0c version that you asked about. 

Web installer:   v9.0c, version 9.29.1973, published 11/30/2010
Redistributable: v9.0c, version 9.29.1962, published 06/07/2010

The DX version in both is the same (9.0c).  The packaging has a slightly
different version.  Don't know what is different between the
installation actions of the different package types (local vs. web) but
then both are delivering the 9.0c of the *product*.

There may have been reasons why Microsoft generated a new web installer
package.  That doesn't mean they had to also go change the local
(redistributable) package.  Also, the November web installer points to
the June redistributable package.  That's what Microsoft tells you to
use.

The June package is the redistributable installer for the 9.0c version.
The November package is the latest incarnation of their web installer
for the same 9.0c version.
