As Henrik explained (several times actually):

You need to understand that PBP is a compiler, it compiles programs - that's it. It does not talk to ANY hardware what so ever.

You use PBP to compile programs, the compiler than automatically launches the assembler (that's why you need MBLAB installed) and the outcome of the assembly process is a .hex file which is to be programmed into the PIC chip (can be one on the EasyPIC 7 or elsewhere, PBP does NOT know or care).

If you want to program the PIC chip onboard the EasyPIC7 you need to use the programmer application supplied with the board (mikroProgSuite).
