The statement about the finding Miktex was to indicate that there appears to be an issue with the installer in that it finds that there is a Miktex distribution but is unable to fill in the path to the latex.exe file. Probably the wrong list to be talking about this anyway.
Is the MikTeX /bin directory on your system command path? It's possible the installer sees that MikTeX is installed by checking a registry entry, whereas the configuration script tries to run latex.exe (and may fail if it's not on the command path).
