I also use MCS with PBP version 2.6, but I use a PICKIT2 as my programmer rather than the IC-prog. This development configuration lets me compile and program the chip in one step without creating a .hex file and downloading it into the programmer like most configurations. My configuration is reliable and works great. PICKIT2 is worth the $50 just to simplify the development environment. Plus if you then place a 6-pin header on all your board designs, you can connect directly to your final board configuraiton for re-programming in the field.
