how to check siunitx package installed or not

[Mike Marchywka]

The screen shots don't mean anything to me but on a quick google search
this does come up with expl3 which I recall was another problem that 
I think went away on upgrading. There are a few reports of siunitx incompatibilities,

I guess the versions are one problem and maybe it can't find the right one, 

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/299625/latex-compatible-code-for-both-siunitx-version-1-and-2


this mentions l3, 

http://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/siunitx/siunitx.pdf

and you can check ctan for any other comments on issues.

but not sure if these are relevant to you or my old problem.

In theory anyway the system values can change and this is a transparent prepend.
or append.
The syntax IIRC was a bit different for normal paths ( something about descending into
subdirs ) but logic similar.

This is why I recommend using the standard personal TeX directory idea:
it saves having to edit paths that will get overwritten by a version update.
