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_iplay
er_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_iplay
er_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.

Hi,
Thanks for the information and help. I think I'll wait until the website is
back.
