I cannot remember if it requires a genuine version check or not for the download on MS's site. You should be able to let the ActiveX element run and take you to the download.

Yeah, there's a WGA check involved in downloading anything DX from Microsoft, even just the runtimes.

Like David said, let the WGA plugin install, if you're using Firefox or Opera or whatever else is out there now you might want to fire up IE just for this download. I've had the WGA not play nice every once in a while and when it does that using IE makes things go smoother.
