Sorry I didn't see Colin's reply as it was in my Inbox (normally my gip 
mail gets forwarded to my GIP folder, which is where I was awaiting 
replies - but not if people reply direct and copy to the list, LOL)

There is a blank response to "which get_iplayer" as I uninstalled both 
get-iplayer and get_iplayer.

Just going back to the comment you made earlier, how come the system 
still "knows about" the uninstalled program? I would have thought that 
uninstalling it would be the end of the matter?
