I'm afraid I've run into something rather more serious. I installed the
2012 DVD and all went OK, but now from the command prompt I get
(null): fatal: Can't determine where the executable xetex is.
If I go manually to the TeXLive directory and click on xetex.exe (which
certainly is there), for a microsecond I get a DOS prompt box flashing up
but it immediately disappears.
The PATH environment is OK so I'm rather stumped - I think it's probably a
Registry corruption, but any other ideas would be welcome!
Best wishes
John

I will investigate, but may have to reinstall (or install an updated
version, which I guess I ought to as 2009 seems a long way off now).
Instead of trying to install a newer xdvipdfmx (then this binary certainly
won't work because it would search its resources outside of TL '09), you
could update to a TL '13 pre-release…
TL Manager isn't working either so it looks as if something rather nasty
has happened!
Does it see backups of the TL packages? Do you have made backups of your
system? Why not? A TL '09 manager does not work with any other release than
TL '09. And this release should still be available in the historic branch of
CTAN.
