there are some good video tutorials on the microchip website.

Not to mention the Microchip forums devoted to the topic... oh, I see, you've already been there. In that case I suggest you research the previous answers to the same issue in that forum. It's not really a web platform topic.
Thank all for all those constructive comments !
I found what was the problem , i had to uninstall my current mplabv8.63 and install the cd version, after that i was able to upgrade the bootloader and the firmware of the pickit, and after that reinstall the latest mplabv8.63.
i was then able to program the bootloader on my webserver :-)
It that the 'PICkit3 doesn't work from MPLAB' problem? Sjaak mentioned something like this. I just have an old ICD2 that keeps on kicking.
@ian
I begin to like my pk3 at last :o)
the basic silly debugger of the pk3 is fine for me, basic stepping trace, and locals variables traces are good, of course for the price i paid.
it sure be fun to have a better ICD ou ICE but Santa didn't let me with enough money :o/
the icd 2 works wonderfully, had to give it back, and now I'm stuck with an pickit2, maybe ill build my own icd2.
