No, not if you used the Windows installer.  Those instructions are 
"lengthy" because a stock Windows/IE installation makes it such a faff 
to do something as simple as download a plain text file that lacks a 
file extension.  Since we give users a non-CLI interface, we also have 
to be mindful of users who don't or won't use the command line.  It 
saves unnecessary queries here.  If you want the digested read:

Back up and replace this file:

Win32: C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl

OR

Win64: C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl

with this file:

https://raw.github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer

and be sure to rename it to get_iplayer.pl in the process.
