    Since pickit2+ and pickit3+ installed, pickit2 doesn't find device but pickit2+ finds the device and reads it ok and works.
    Pickit3 finds the device but can't read it, pickit3+ works ok.
    Is this normal?
    I tried a new win10 installation, loaded gcb latest first then pickit2 v2.60 and pickit3 v3.10 but the same as when I upgraded gcb and pk2&3 were already installed.

    The Device you are trying to detect is probably not supported by PICKit.

    PICKit+ adds devices that the Microchip have not included in their own version of PICKit software.

    That was the whole reson for PICKit+, to support more devices than Microchip do.

      It's a pic18f25k22 which is supported...been using them for a while with pk2 and gcb.
      I only noticed this recently when I needed to use a 3.3V device and a pic was easiest.
      I'll try a win7 laptop with pk2&3 and pk2+&3+.

    I tried a win7 machine with gcb pk2+&3+ and pk2 didn't see device and crashed on quit
    but pickit3 works ok.

    No idea really.

    The old sotware will crash wihen exiting - that is one of the known bugs in the old software.
    Re PICKit+. This works here. I have just tested so look at the computer/virus checker etc.

      Pickit+ is working fine. The only automation I got working is pk+ loads and flashes hex file when it's updated, not gcb ide tools / edit programmer...someone else is having problems to.
      Odd pk2 works on win10 but not pk3
      and pk3 works on win7 but not pk2.

        PICkit+ good.
        Your Win10 finding are the know bugs
        Your Win7 findings are common usage cus of the bugs.
        Who else?
