While that's true ...

        (you should configure your system to know an editor for
        LaTeX and/or text files)

... that is not the problem. Another thing GNUmed tries to
show you the LaTeX document before printing ...

... does not work either on Windows. However unfazed by all
that GNUmed goes on to create the actual PDF ...

... but that seems to fail, too.

Now, can you check whether

        - "pdflatex" is in the PATH
        - the PDF file 
"c:\users\vaibhav\appdata\local\temp\gnumed\gm-nflwyi\gm-L-Template-qyj1u0\gm-L-Template-qyj1u0-instance..pdf"
 exists

That will help us decide how to improve the experience on
Vista. All this is no problem under Linux. Also, I believe
it is known to work under other Windows variants given
proper configuration.
