[XeTeX] fontspec.sty- xelatex: GUI framework cannot be initialized.

[David J. Perry]

Last time I checked (which was a little while back) winedt did not support 
Unicode well.  Since Xe(La)TeX and associated programs such as fontspec are 
designed to work in Unicode, you might want to try a different editor; I 
suggest TeXworks, which comes with MiKTeX.

This is really strange, your document works fine on my Linux with TeX
Live. It seems that something is wrong in your configuration. Some
error is triggered and xetex tries to open an editor so that you can
try to fix it. I would suggest to remove \usepackage and \setmainfont,
add \scrollmode and try what happens.

BTW: Arial is the ugliest font. I would suggest using TeX Gyre Hero or
similar high quality font.
