hmm, this sounds as if the whole MiKTeX-System wasn't installed properly 
on your system and therefore it can't be found. Perhaps you can proof 
this with the following tests:

- Open Windows 'Start'-Menü and make sure that there is an entry 
'MiKTeX' inside the 'Program'-section.

- If you can't locate the 'MiKTeX' entry, open the pdf booklet again and 
install MiKTeX by clicking on "Click here to install MiKTeX" on page 10. 
Be sure you have noticed the instructions beginning on page 7.

WinEdt's license is not needed necessary, while you could use 
TeXnicCenter instead of WinEdt. Last not least WinEdt can be used the 
first 30 days as evaluation product.

Good luck - Thomas
