Yes, the ICD2 can act in two modes, as a Programmer or as a Debugger - the latter needs a PIC that supports 
debug mode, and it looks like you're just trying to program it.

The correct procedure to start up is from the top menu to select "Configure" then "Select Device" and choose 
the PIC you're using, then "Programmer" then "Select Programmer" from the top menu, then "MPLAB ICD2" and 
you'll be set up properly to use it as a programmer.  Don't touch "Debugger" unless you want to use it that 
way and know how to do so!  :-)
