I run your same set-up (except MPLAB 7.30)
To get up and running, try this (manually instead of letting MCS/MPLAB do it)
* Close MPLAB if open
* In Microcode studio make sure you select the MPASM box under
View menu Compile and Program Options/Assembler
* Use Microcode Studio to Compile Only (F9) (watch for errors)
* Start MPLAB.
* Under Configure menu select “Select Device” and select your PIC (make sure PS+ is green)
* Under Configure select/open Configuration Bits
* Under Programmer menu select the PicStart Plus
* Under Programmer menu Enable Programmer (watch for errors)
* Under View menu select Program memory
* Under Window menu select Tile Horizontally (to manage your views)
* Under File select Import and find your newly compiled .hex file (You should see the Program memory change)
* Make sure the Config bits are okay
* Insert you PIC in your PS+
* erase your PIC (Programmer Menu / Erase Flash Device)
* program your PIC (Programmer menu / Program)
Report back
