Latest BBC iPlayer Downloads not working in Windows 8,1

I uninstalled the previous iPlayer downloads as it had stopped working on my Dell Inspiron17R - OS Windows 8.1

Any attempts to install new downloader or programmes fail. Reported this to BBC and this was their final advice:

Thanks for contacting BBC iPlayer Support.
We understand you have experienced difficulties reinstalling BBC iPlayer Downloads.
We would suggest you try uninstalling and reinstalling again as we've since updated the BBC iPlayer Downloads application.

I have tried to do this and it appears to download to VLC player location, but I can't do anything else with it after that. I can't find an app that seems to work for it. Streaming programmes is the option I am left with and not always satisfactory as internet connection not great,

Am I missing something that I should be doing to be able to download from iPlayer?
Any advice appreciated.
