You said in your original post that you had transferred your history 
and pvr files.

Have you also transferred your options file? (from C:\Documents and 
Settings\$User$\.get_iplayer). Depending on the contents of your pvr 
files, there could be a mis-match between the options file and the pvr 
files unless the file/folder structure is identical.

But you say that the CLI also failed, so I don't know if that is the 
problem after all.

I did initially have a problem on a new Windows 10 PC, but I 
uninstalled from the originally installed account, and re-installed 
from the account I had created and all worked fine.

If it's not too problematical, perhaps you could try doing something 
similar, test that the "vanilla" install works, then gradually change 
the files to the transferred ones.

Does that make sense?
