I'm sitting here wondering. You can buy a Picstart, or any programmer
_known_ to work with certain software. I'm using picp with that. I never
actually figured out mplab's windows stuff - I never had to. 

In passing, I would feel you may have given up rather quickly on some of
the programs out there. If you had come here with your problems, I am
reasonably sure they would have been sorted

If you want experience and training, rock on. If you want results, why
reinvent the wheel?
