The installation procedure wrote a few trivial entries to the registry -
I deleted them and Get Iplayer worked fine. But I tried copying the
files to a USB stick, uninstalling Get Iplayer, copying them back and
running it, and got an uninformative error message - sorry, I didn't
write it down.

The download history, TV cache, radio cache and options are stored in
Documents & Settings - a future installer could redirect these to the
install folder.

My guess is that Perl installs files somewhere that isn't the install
folder or Documents & Settings, and Get Iplayer can't run without these.
Maybe we could switch to a portable version of Perl - I think Strawberry
Perl is portable?
