Open Game.ini file in your game folder with Notepad or text editor.
Leave the RTP section blank- game can start without the need to install RTP.

Delete vxrtpdb.zip afterwards.

You need to include files that you used inside their respective folders of "Audio","Fonts","Graphics"
For example- Title graphic goes inside the System folder

Be sure to copy RGSS202E.dll and paste into your game folder. You can find dll file in the folder where you installed RTP

For non-steam version of VX, dll file is located in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterbrain\RGSS2\RPGVX
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Enterbrain\RGSS2\RPGVX
