1. TeX Live 2012 has a menu entry `TeX Live command-line'. Does texdoc
fail when you run e.g. `texdoc texlive-en' from this command-line?

2. Did you install for the current user or for all users?

3. Does Control Panel / Programs and Features list any old TeX Live
versions?

4. What is your path in a regular command prompt?

On my w7 test machine, texdoc and texdoctk work fine.
