Hi Phil,
the installer doesn't install any sources. This would blow up
the system too much. Consider network installs.
But if you have the DVD, uncompress and untar the file
/path/to/DVD/source/texlive-20091011-source.tar.xz
It contains a file "texlive-20091011-source/texk/web2c/tex.web".
Anyway, if you are only interested in tex.web, the easiest way to get
it is to download it from the repository:
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/web2c/tex.web
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
