i think what he meant was a full download instead of the stupid web installer
i'd like to know where to get the new Dx9a full download too.
one thing i've tried is to use the web installer, and right after it downloads everything (and while it's still installing), go into C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Local Settings\Temp and there should be a huge file/folder that's probably the Dx9a installer, just copy that file and rename it, lol. it worked for me
but the real full installer would still be nice to have
