This happens on WinXP also. The shortcut runs (essentially)
command
   (path)\cmd.exe (path)\tlmgr.exe gui
when it should be
   (path)\cmd /c (path)\tlmgr,bat gui
(The actual command depends on the paths to cmd.exe and tlmgr.bat)

What is missing is the switch /c.
If you right click on
   TeX Live Manager
in the Start Menu, select Properties, and go to the Shortcut tab,
you can edit the Target box and add the /c.

Alternatively, you can open a cmd.exe window and type in
   tlmgr gui
to run the manager directly.
