DirectX comes with most games, try using the installer from one of them.
Or,
Try downloading a software called directX happy uninstall. Use that to install dx 9.0c. You can find it at softpedia.com. I had the same problem and was able to fix it after using it.

think you are just extracting the files from one exe .... use the installer usually the setup or dxsetup.exe:confused:

if u are using a packed directx exe setup , then it will extract the necessary file to the folder which u will mention , and then frm there use setup. exe to install the directx

^^again???
r u sure that dx9.0c is not already installed on ur system??
maybe u shud use an external utility to determine which directx u r using.....

i had exact same problem before.
to solve this problem install window xp with service pack one or just plain win xp pro(dont install if u have sp 2).
then install directx 9.c
then install sp 2
problem solved.
