Hello Ivan. The Does list.files(pattern = 'utils|Rout\\.fail') gave me something like an empty string.
So after getting some in-person help on this issue, the key to resolving this error was explicitly defining the environmental variables in the console as: set PDFLATEX=C:\Users\edmon\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\pdflatex set MAKEINDEX=C:\Users\edmon\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\makeindex The makeindex was a package I was apparently missing for MikTex and I had to download it as part of generating the manual. I would have to set up the environmental variables every time that R got started in order for the R CMD check to run smoothly.
