The output from xtable (above) is not a self-contained, complete
LaTeX file.  You need, at the very least, A \documentclass statement
at the beginning of the file and the code above needs to be inside a
\begin{document} ... \end{document} pair.

Then, the pdflatex (I beilieve this exists in MiKTeX) command builds
a pdf file.
