Hi,
I should like to install get_iplayer on my brand new Windows laptop. When I
installed get_iplayer before I used a program called something like
get_iplayer_setup_latest which was linked to from
http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer.html.
However, this
website is down now and I don't have the link to the program. Would someone
please be so kind as to post the link, or if the program is no longer
available, point me to an alternative installation method for Windows PCs?
Many thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve :-)
If you're in a hurry, the "webarchive" has a snapshot of the official site,
dated
Mar 11th 2012; this is after the time the windows installer was last
updated, now
being at version 4.5 (uploaded on infradead.org on 02-Nov-2011).
Go to this URL:
http://web.archive.org/web/20120311122304/http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/
and download "get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe" , which is the same as
"get_iplayer_setup_4.5.exe" ; this will get you the installer you're
after...
However, this installer downloads stuff (the dependencies) from the
internet,
and for this it needs the info inside the file
"get_iplayer_config_latest.ini" .
This is the part I'm not sure of: if that .ini resides inside the installer,
then I presume the downloading should proceed normally - however, if the
installer
cheks the contents of the .ini online from infradead.org (currently down),
then no
downloading will occur. In that case, you may open the .ini in your browser
from
this URL:
http://web.archive.org/web/20120311053336/http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/get_iplayer_config_latest.ini
and download the dependencies manually, using the given URLs.
You'll have to manually un-zip/un-7z the packages using 7zip (free).
However, if you are not in a hurry and don't feel particularly adventurous,
you should wait, as advised by David, till the site is properly up...
Regards.
