Check C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\RTMPDump in Windows Explorer.  Do you 
see a "Compatibility Files" button in the toolbar?  If so, then you've 
fallen afoul of filesystem virtualisation and your new rtmpdump went 
into your virtual store.  I'm not sure how that may have happened, but 
it's one possible explanation for a missing rtmpdump.

Whether or not you've been bitten by filesystem virtualisation, do a 
full uninstall of get_iplayer, delete C:\Program Files\get_iplayer, and 
install again.  The installer tries to remove any virtual store junk. 
After installation, *don't* do anything else - no new rtmpdump, etc. 
You don't need a newer version of rtmpdump, so take it out of the 
equation.  Now test the standard installation.

Also, don't copy options from the system options file 
(C:\ProgramData\get_iplayer\options) into your user options file, as you 
indicated.  It will break the next version of the installer.  From the 
list above, you only need radiomode and tvmode in your user options 
file.  Remove the rest after you've re-installed and checked that the 
system options file has been created.
