That problem was fixed a few days ago (see list archive).  You had to 
re-run the installer to get the updated location for LAME download. It 
shouldn't affect your situation.

That's OK.  Those messages stem from --partial-proxy, which tells 
get_iplayer to use the proxy only where necessary.

That's unfortunate a re-install didn't work.  For some reason, 
get_iplayer still can't locate RTMPDump.  We haven't seen any other 
Windows users report this problem, so I can only surmise the cause is 
unique to your machine.  It's a bit of a reach, but below are some other 
things to check:

1. Verify that the prompt in your get_iplayer window reads:

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer is default install location.  If you 
installed to another directory, it should match the prompt.

2. In your get_iplayer window run:

echo %PATH%

This lists the directories where your system looks for applications.  It 
may be useful for the next 2 steps.

3. Is it possible there is another copy of rtmpdump.exe on your machine? 
  To check, go to your get_iplayer window and run:

rtmpdump.exe --help

Don't prepend ".\RTMPDump\" this time.  If you get a response from 
RTMPDump, then there is another copy somewhere on your machine that 
should be deleted.  It will be located in one of the directories listed 
in %PATH%.

4. Is it possible there is a copy of flvstreamer.exe on your machine? 
To check, go to your get_iplayer window and run:

flvstreamer.exe --help

If you get a response from FLVSreamer, then there is a copy somewhere on 
your machine that should be deleted.  It will be located in one of the 
directories listed in %PATH%.

5. Verify the Perl version.  To check, go to your get_iplayer window and 
run:

perl.exe -V

(note upper case V)

The last 3 lines of output should be:

   @INC:
     C:/Program Files/get_iplayer/lib
     .

If not, then somehow another version of Perl is operating on your 
machine. It will be located in one of the directories listed in %PATH%. 
That seems extremely unlikely, however.
