Ken,
My settings are a bit different than Darrel's but may have required a download of a command processor from Microchip.
In the program filename box I have pk2cmd.exe
The path should point to your "pickit 2 v2" directory which is likely
C:\program files\microchip\pickit 2 v2
My parameters string is
Code:
-PPIC$target-device$ -F$hex-filename$ -E -M -Y -Y
This works with or without the PicKit program running as it brings up a batch programming window. The -Y -Y causes the verification to run twice just so you can see the results of programming before the batch window closes.
I usually run the PicKit program also so I can use its reset MCLR function to start the code running in the pic.
Hope this helps,
Jim
