I already have ActiveState Perl (v5.16.3) installed and in constant

I never use the Windows Installer myself, like you I have a pre-existing
version of Perl. Most probably, although I haven't actually tried it
with this installer, you can open the installer's archive with a program
such as 7-zip, which is a useful tool to have installed anyway, and
extract the various folders manually, as desired.
My arrangement works for me and is thus:
C:\Programs\Perl
C:\Programs\AtomicParsley
C:\Programs\FFMPEG
C:\Programs\GetIPlayer
C:\Programs\RTMPDump*
Then you have to ensure that the directories ...
C:\Programs\Perl\site\bin;
C:\Programs\Perl\bin;
C:\Programs\AtomicParsley;
C:\Programs\FFMPEG\bin;
C:\Programs\RTMPDump\bin;*
... are included in your path, and that *.pl files are associated with
being run by Perl.
*These are historical and may not still be required.
