Perhaps a note in the documentation would help. For example, at 
http://tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html#examples something like, "Note: 
tlmgr must be run from the command line; use Command Prompt in Windows."

I note here that, at least in my experience including myself, a naive 
user is more apt to read the documentation than a not-to-naive user. ;-)
