Chris, Solution is simple: create a new shortcut and put it wherever you want.

DOS PATH
When I run the short cut from the Start menu - I get Web PVM Manager. That is how GiP was installed. I didn't know that there was a short cut for the Command Line version. I have been using get_iplayer for years on XP and Win 7 and never noticed it. I usually start the command line window from Start / Programs / Accessories - then change the directory manually using >CD.. etc. Chris B. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Latest version of GiP is 2.94 ! did not install the proper shortcut, as described below. Yes, what I described was for Windows versions that come with a Start Menu; then the GiP shortcuts are found under: "Start -> All Programs -> get_iplayer" folder. I do not have a Win8+ system to test, but according to the Wiki https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/winsetup#windows-installer the installer should've installed in the Windows 8 Start screen a "Get_iPlayer" tile. I do not know what the installer does in the "Desktop" mode of Win8+... Pay special attention to the Win installer NOTE: You must run the installer while logged in as a user that has administrator privileges. If you are the only user on your PC you should already have administrator privileges. If you are logged in as a normal user and elevate your privileges by signing in as an administrator at the UAC prompt or by invoking the installer via "Run as Administrator", the menu shortcuts and output directory will be installed for the administrator account, not the logged-in user. (snip) If you subsequently run get_iplayer while logged in as a different, non-administrator user you will not be able to access the output directory configured by the installer. Just a guess, but maybe the GiP shortcuts aren't available to you if you are not logged in as admin... I believe there exist Win8+ users on this list who should be able to share their experience with you in a more helpful manner...

Re: DOS Path
FWIW, the last installations of GiP (Windows 8.1, 2.92) did not install the proper shortcut, as described below. I just copied them from a properly configured system. tnx, doug On 18-Jun-15 21:35, Vangelis forthnet wrote: On Thu Jun 18 19:01:14 BST 2015, CJB wrote: to add get_iplayer to a computer's PATH$ Then the CML version would be a tad easier to use Hi... What's wrong with the way the windows installer of GiP set up things for you? When you run the "Get_iPlayer" shortcut, you actually run: "cmd /k get_iplayer.cmd --search dontshowanymatches && get_iplayer.cmd --help" in the GiP installation folder (for win32 this is: "C:\Program Files\get_iplayer") - why have it otherwise? get_iplayer.cmd is located therein and actually runs: @echo off perl.exe get_iplayer.pl %* perl.exe & get_iplayer.pl also in the same folder... What exactly do you want to add to the PATH and how do you plan to invoke the CLI? I might be wrong, but if you plan (for brevity) to use "get_iplayer.cmd", then all three "get_iplayer.cmd", "perl.exe" & "get_iplayer.pl" should be added... And do you have an installed version of Perl? I suspect not, but it would cause conflicts if you also added GiP's version in the PATH... Just my 2pence...
