DirectX 9.0c is installed automatically when the OS is installed.
Select Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System
Information. Then when that window pops up select Tools / DirectX Diagnostic
Tool and check your "already installed" DirectX settings.

WinXPx64 comes with DirectX 9.0c (the latest version) built-in. Why
are you trying to install another version?
