Hello,
it seems you forgot to put the environmental variable for the distribution.

Hi Ravi,
installation of a Latex Editor is not enough, you have to install a LaTeX distribution too like MiKTeX or Tex Live. Have a look at MiKTeX.org.
Perhaps see Essential Software.

Hello,
what distribution you are using? Texlive or Miktex? MikTex 2.7 set the environment variables automatically. You can test the variables by using the panel (prompt). In the panel you have to write "latex". Then you get a message like:
pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.9-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.7)
In this case you have to say Led where Led can find the latex-distribution.
