Hello,

1. The download from Microsoft is DirectX SDK build 9.29.1962.
It's the latest and last version of DirectX 9 SDK.

It provides D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11 runtime dlls.

The D3D9 samples are in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June
2010)\Samples\C++\Direct3D" directory (default install path).
There are distinct directories for DirectX 10 and 11 feature samples:
Direct3D10 and Direct3D11.

2. The download from archive.org claim to be DirectX 9.0 SDK from 2002-12-19.
The closest other source I could find is DirectX 9.0b SDK on fileplanet.com:

https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-16004/DirectX-9-0-Software-Development-Kit-with-DirectX-9-0b-Runtime

Both installers claim to be DirectX 9 SDK build 9.00.0900, but they are
different.
The difference lies in the DXDiag.lnk, dxreadme.htm and CAB files in "Redist"
directory.
All the other installed files are identical.

There is no way for me to disambiguate or attest the authenticity of them, but
fileplanet.com has a point for not allowing uploads from random users.

3. No one stated that the issue is specific to the SDK from 2002 yet.

If the issue can be reproduced with the june 2010 SDK, there is no reason to
change the URL back. It would serve no purpose. People who want to test older
versions can find the links in the comments.

Zebediah Figura already diagnosed the issue in comment 7, so the developers
knows what has to be done. There is nothing more to say until the issue gets
worked on.

I respectfully ask you to show patience.

Regards.
