A method for cracking Cowen Jet-Audio 4.02

I am sure that there is an easier way, but this is a hodgepodge method of bypassing the upgrade file as it searches for a previous version. Remember that version 4.02 is a free upgrade if you 'own' version 3.12.  Even if you don't, download the upgrade version.

FILE

jad402ue.exe

METHOD

1.	Run jad402ue
2.	While it is checking for a previous version, go to the temp directory (if you haven't changed the settings, it will be 
	in c:\windows\temp) - it might be a good idea to erase or move the files already there, prior to starting, to avoid confusion.  In the temp directory, you will see the installshield files.  Move these files to a new directory.
3.	In the new directory find the file called SETUP.INS.  Rename it to something like setup.bak.
4.	Copy the attached SETUP.INS to the above directory.
5.	In that same directory run setup.exe.  Chose ANY serial number.  It may complain about the folder name being missing, 	
	just press OK and give it the folder that you want it in.
6.	After you have successfully installed jet-audio, rerun jad402ue.exe - it will find install as a normal upgrade (this 	
	step really isn't necessary, but it keeps the purists happy).
