Right.  I think you need to add the directory of latex.exe to that.
It may work to add this to your vimrc:

    let $PATH .= ';C:\Users\Nick Riches\Documents\miktexportable\miktex\bin'

If I could set up my Windows system again, I would not give it it my
first and last names.  That space has indeed been a huge pain.

In my case, my MikTex files are under "C:\Program Files", but that
space never seemed to cause a problem for vim-latex.

When I compile LaTeX files, I also get a file with a .log extension.
You may find a clue in there.
