Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
The web installer does not work.
Use the offline installer instead like Chocolatey instead

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
I dont know if winget can currently use the offline installer. The exe needs to be extracted first. And then you run dxsetup.exe with /Silent.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the DirectX package manifest and comparing its current web-installer source with the linked offline installer. Check whether the package flow can extract directx_Jun2010_redist.exe and invoke dxsetup.exe with /Silent; done means the package installs successfully through winget without relying on the web installer.
