My Pd launcher's no more than a custom DOS .bat file that let's you turn Framestein and ASIO drivers on/off at runtime.
I use the same technique in Linux with a shell script.
And as a windows user I have to ask this, how cross-platform are you intending this to be?
Tcl/Tk. The launcher would list the externals with their descriptions, and checkboxes would activate them. If an internet source is provided it would first download and install the externals. Isn't there a Windows mechanism to install softwares from the network?
