87668 fails on Windows 10 with "pdflatex not found"

I see there have been a number of tweaks to the document build
recently (87650, 87654, 87658, 97660, 97661, etc.)

To Rd2pdf, yes, mostly bug fixes for some rare usages. Some more changes
are in the making, also for texi2pdf (but that has not been touched yet).

I tried building 87668 today on Windows 10 and received the error
below. Is this related?

Thanks for checking, it shouldn't be. I doubt the error is related to
the Rd2pdf changes as that isn't involved in building the vignettes. You
could try an older revision or maybe R-patched or render a minimal LaTeX
document using tools::texi2pdf(), to see if the error isn't just related
to your LaTeX setup. The error suggests that whatever program is set to
be PDFLATEX on your system, usually pdflatex, cannot be found: smells
like a PATH issue.
