I have discovered the programming parameters to program using Pickit3 directly
from Microcode Studio IDE.
I downloaded Microchip MPLAB latest 8.4, uninstalled previous version and
installed new to its default directory.
MPLAB automatically upgraded the firmware of the Pickit3 on first run.
The Programmer name for the IDE is PK3CMD.exe and is located at:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Programmer Utilities\Pickit3\PK3CMD.exe
The parameters are:
-P$target-device$ -F$hex-filename$ -E -M -B -L
The -B (batch) is only to keep the DOS window open after programming to
see completion messages and could be left out. A space bar press will exit DOS.
The -L will release the MCLR.
Add an V5 or V.3 and possibly other voltages to power the PIC from the Pickit3 USB.
Enjoy.
