Hello, I purchased PIC 2 and a universal development board. The MPlab I use is able to detect the kit 2 however it keeps showing me error message that the microcontroller is not installed properly. Help me out please, this is my very first time. The power supply I used to power the development board on which the microcontroller lie is 4.5V and the current is 500mA
 

have you connected the pickit 2 properly?
have a look at this photo:

If yes, verify the connection between the programmer and the pic by looking the 16F887 datasheet and by checking if every pin involved in the photo is properly connected.
to be sure the problem lies in your development board, attach the pic, if it is possible, to a breadboard and try to detect by connecting it directly and powering the pic with the pickit2 (make sure you enabled the power in the pickit settings on mplab)
