Updated for August 2009.

I didn't have a problem integrating it w/ RVM Integrator 1.6 or it installing during setup.
If you do not create a proper ISO/burning options it probably will not work. Microsoft uses 31 characters for filenames on their CDs, not 8.3. If you use 8.3 the name of the file will get truncated and svcpack.inf won't be able to find it.

DirectX for Managed Code AddOn - 1.1.0
This addon contains DirectX for Managed Code, .NET Framework assemblies that the web installer/redist installs when .NET Framework is installed. This isn't needed unless you install the .NET Framework, and isn't dependent on .NET to install.

Q: What is so different about this DirectX addon?
A: Previous addons excluded files that the web installer would download, so when you ran the web installer with those DirectX addons, it would still have files available to download; if you plan to keep your install for more than a month and stay up-to-date with the web installer, you will receive the missing files. This addon will "satisfy" the web installer, excluding Managed DirectX for .NET Framework.
This addon does not contain anymore superfluous files, of these are infs and security catalogs.
Q: But the DirectX Web Setup still needs to download some files. I have .NET installed.
A: Make sure you also have the DirectX for Managed Code AddOn.
Q: Why isn't d3dx10.dll included?
A: d3dx10.dll is only installed in Vista because it's only installed in Vista. XP or Server 2003 won't have this file.
Q: Do I need this addon with XP SP3?
A: These runtimes are not included in XP SP3, so you will still need the addon in SP3 if you needed it in SP2. Some games require certain runtimes, SP3 doesn't change this.
Q: How is the switchless installer built?
A: The DirectX switchless installer was built using NSIS. You can find the sources here if you wish to build or update it yourself.
