Dear Charles
If your package prints a message to the user suggesting how to get a
Latex installation then I do not think you need to do anything else.
After all they could install Latex some other way if they pleased or try
to work out why the installation they thought they had is not working.
Maybe "vignette.pdf" is rebuilt by R CMD build.

If what you say is the PATH of a system variable, there are in it.
And in R console, I can get this result:

[1] "C:\\Program Files\\gs\\gs9.27\\bin\\gswin64c.exe"
> Sys.getenv("R_QPDF")
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\qpdf-9.0.1\\bin\\qpdf.exe"

Can't you tell by looking at what is printed? You should see

Yes, I agree. Hence this earlier comment of mine you choose not to reply to:

Thanks for the thoughts all. In some ideal world I agree a simple message and
leave it up to the user would be cleanest, in a world where I / others already
have to deal with random compiler problems and other excitement in the middle
of teaching workshops, I can see the benefits of an optional
