    No, that's not the way it works. Must have missed a few "Letters" in that printout.

    Did you do the troubleshooting step?

    OK Darrel, I did it exactly the same way as osarkhermit did, I do not have a file called pk2cmd.exe in my computer anywhere. The executables I have are PICkit2 in the PICkit2 directory and PICkit2V2 in the PICkit2V2 directory. The first opens the programmer on the right the other opens the one on the left.<br><br>

    <br> And this fails in Run: c:\program files\microchip\pickit 2 v2\pk2cmd.exe But the path is correct except pk2cmd.exe does not exist .

    After you pointed to the other thread, I thought for sure you got it right Joe.

    The pk2cmd.exe program comes from the "PICKit2 Command Line Interface" which must be downloaded and extracted to your PICkit 2 V2 folder.
    http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/e...K2CMDv1-12.zip

    If you didn't download it, or extracted it to the wrong place, it definitely can't run.

    That's why I gave the Troubleshooting Step above.
    With one simple test, you can determine if the file is there or not.

    If it's not there, download it.

    Yes I found it on the Disc in it's own directory, copied it to where you said and set it up as instructed. I then ran from the command line as instructed and saw a dos window flash quickly by. Now if I run compile and program I see the dos window flash by, I do not see any activity on my programmer, this however may not be a problem as described here as I Skanked my whole windoze system the other night and am still reinstalling programs to make nice again, I may have to reinstall pickit2 too. Note to self: never delete user.dat from windows
    edit:
    OK it works, but only if I first open the PICkit2 program and select the correct chip and file first, then clicking compile and program will update the PIC firmware with 1 click. The script is copy pasted from your example. WIN98se, PBP2.50 MCS+ 3.0.0.5 . It may be a WIN98 USB issue.
