I have successfully used MikTex in the past and definitely remember
having an initial setup cycle of trying to export, checking the Org
PDF Latex buffer, identifying the missing package(s), installing via
the MikTex GUI, and repeating until all the errors went away. This may
be purely because I default to a lean system and don't go for these
huge meta-packages. If one chooses to install the [La/Lua/Xe]Tex
world, this might not be the case! I have the same procedure on linux
with TexLive where I have a default starting set of pkgs and just run
tlmgr on whatever errors I encounter.

Just one other data point!

The first step is to make sure "pdflatex" is recognized, period. This
is still not answered.
