pdflatex.exe not found
I got this error, so I proceeded to install TeX Live.
The error message says:
"Unable to execute pdflatex
The program "pdflatex.exe" was not found.
You need a TeX distribution like TeX Live or MiKTeX installed on your system to typeset your document.
When a TeX distribution is installed you may need to tell TeXworks where to find it in Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting."
I still have this issue after installing, what should I do?
This is my first time using LaTex and I am very confused with all the jargon so a simple answer would be great, thanks.

Welcome, before anybody can give you any hints we need to know what you did so far. You have to install TeX Live, not just download stuff. After installation, all binaries should be available. What is your exact error message right now? Please copy it to the question.
