This means there was no communication at all between the PC and the
programmer.  This has nothing to do with what type of target chip is
connected, or whether one is connected at all.  It also means that the
program was able to allocate the COM port for its use, so being system
administrator or not isn't the issue.  You would have gotten a message
something like "Unable to open system serial port" if the program couldn't
get to the COM port.

I'm sure you checked these things, but is the serial cable properly plugged
into both ends?  Is it really plugged into COM2 not COM1?  Are you sure the
programmer is powered up?
