See rtmpdump man page...

.....When this option is used, the SWF player is retrieved from the 
specified URL and the hash and size are computed automatically. Also the 
information is cached in a .swfinfo file in the user's home directory, 
so that it doesn't need to be retrieved and recalculated every time 
rtmpdump is run. The .swfinfo file records the URL, the time it was 
fetched, the modification timestamp of the SWF file, its size, and its 
hash. By default, the cached info will be used for 30 days before 
re-checking.

Under start -> programs -> get_iplayer
Your find get_iplayer which opens a cmd window, in the get_iplayer 
environment, then you should be able to type the command

In the cmd window you should see c:\Program Files\get_iplayer> as the 
prompt. It may update the index of available programs first before 
giving the prompt.
