Command Line: latex.exe --src "Demo.tex"

Are you using the MikTeX installation? Try going through this page on the WinEdt site (WinEdt and TeX):

Thank you.
I looked at that link and i think the problem is that i have to install the Tex Live system first. right?

Well, you need to install either MikTeX or LaTeX Live:
