but this works smoothly and i think it is the only option, so that
non-pd-users are willing install netpd.

again, can you elaborate that a bit more?
how can the startup-script be edited by a double click installer in a
manner, that it works with every pd-installation?
the main problem i see here, that (in contrary to other programing
languages, if pd is considered as a programing language) pd lacks any
feedback about loaded pathes and externals. if there would be a way to
check within pd, if a certain external was loaded, a netpd-user would at
least know, why it does not work as expected. also for the other issue
with the netpd-path, using 'getdir' would be just a workaround, but not
the solution for the problem (since using additional externals in an
environment like pd increases the chance of having troubles anyway).
