no, it is not like me
i have "C:\Programme\pd" instead of "C:\Program Files\pd"
i think this is a severe difference.
windows cannot (yet) translate filenames for you.

so set the line to read
	set PDPATH="C:\Program Files\pd"

you might need the quotes.
it might not work at all (because of the space between "Program" and 
"Files")
it would be better anyhow to install pd into a place without spaces: 
e.g. "C:\pd"
