That's because the download button for the program is a Flash video. I
mean, really. I despair sometimes.

You'll have to tab in WebbIE web view or Firefox until you hear "Install
BBC iPlayer Desktop", then hit return, then tab around inside the Flash
video until you hear Yes, then return, which will try to install Adobe Air
and then the application. There will probably be a popup window called
"Application Install" and an Install button to tab and return to at some
point too.

Here's a link to Adobe Air, which is a prerequisite, and might be easier to
install first:
http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/3.6/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe

Good luck.
