Windows installation method
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?

Go to this URL: http://web.archive.org/web/20120311122304/http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/ I regret to say that this won't work since the installer also downloads get_iplayer itself, which will fail due to the dead web site.
