4NT: Brand: WindowsNT/2000/XP/2003: When brand error 'Cannot brand 
4NT.EXE -- invalid target file'

---

Solution:

To brand in the latest versions of 4NT
(e.g. 4NT v5.00U) you will have to double click on the

 4nt.key

file (which is usually attached to the latest e-mail sent to you by
jpsoft, after you ordered the product or renewed the license).

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|    * For 4NT and Take Command, a key file for the product,   |
|      which will be delivered attached to this message (as    |
|      4NT.KEY and/or TCMD32.KEY).  Simply double-click on     |
|      the key file or run it from the command line to register|
|      your copy.                                              |

You will or should get this error if you should have tried as usual to
brand your version of 4NT by running br4nt.exe, and then supplying your
registered name, serial number and validation code.
So you should not register in this way anymore.

If you type the command 'br4nt.exe' on an MSDOS command line
you might see then the following screen:
