 Hi Hugh
 First thing is you seem to have "hijacked" a previous thread, 
because the title of the thread you posted in 
(New radio PIDs, more than 8 characters - "solved") 
has nothing to do with your current predicament... 
You'd better start a new thread titled, e.g., 
"Windows installation/upgrade problems".

 That thing aside, from looking at 

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer_win32/compare/3.01.0...3.02.0

I can't spot any major changes to the Win installer...

 You should begin by supplying some info on 
1. The WinOS version/architecture you're using
2. The GiP version previously used (prior to updating)

 First thing I'd suggest is REBOOT your machine.
After loggin back in, inspect in Task manager whether 
any GiP related processes are running (perl.exe, 
atomicparsley.exe, ffmpeg.exe) and kill them if they do... 

 Try to first uninstall GiP from Control Panel (you may 
want to back up your GiP user profile found at 
%USERPROFILE%\.get_iplayer) followed by a reboot, 
then proceed with a clean re-install of GiP.

 Your problem looks as if it's permissions related, 
or involving locked processes/files. I would recommend 
the Unlocker utility 
http://www.iobit.com/en/iobit-unlocker.php
which has saved the day for me on numerous 
occassions, but use it only if you really know 
what you're doing...

 Hopefully a reboot will clear your issue; GiP 3.02 
was only released a few days ago, if it's some bug 
in the installer then I'd expect more reports to come forth... 
At first glance it only looks as something at your end, 
but little do I know...
If all fails, then maybe report your issue over 
at the support forum, where, hopefully, it'll be 
addressed by the maintainer himself
