Thanks for all the tips folks. Didn't have to use Command Line window
though. Just used Windows Explorer to download 2 files, rename them,
then copy them to the get_iplayer folder.
Assuming that you know how to use Windows Explorer to rename files and
to copy files.
Do this:
1/ go to C:\Program Files\get_iplayer
Find get_iplayer.cgi - rename it to get_iplayer.cgi.bak (as a back up)
Find get_iplayer.pl - rename it to get_iplayer.pl.bak (as a back up)
2/ using your web browser
go to this URL
https://raw.github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer.cgi
do a File Save As ... to save the file (page) onto your computer
(change the destination folder to be somewhere sensible like
\downloads)
then using Windows Explorer rename it to be
get_iplayer.cgi (note no .txt in the name)
3/ go to this URL
https://raw.github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer
do a File Save As ... to save the file (page) onto your computer
(change the destination folder to somewhere sensible like \downloads)
then using Windows Explorer rename it to be
get_iplayer.pl (note no .txt in the name)
4/ copy the new file get_iplayer.cgi to
C:\Program Files\get_iplayer
5/ copy the new file get_iplayer.pl to
C:\Program Files\get_iplayer
FINAL CHECK STEP
6/ go to C:\Program Files\get_iplayer
check that you now have two new files:
get_iplayer.cgi
get_iplayer.pl
and two old back up files
get_iplayer.cgi.bak
get_iplayer.pl.bak
Hope that this all works for you.
