Hopefully this will be useful for those who are interested in 
PICkit 1/2.

PICkit 1 and PICkit 2 firmware and host software can be downloaded
from the following link.

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1960

Microsoft Visual Basic 6 is used for PICkit 1 host software building.

Borland C++ Builder 6 is used for the PICKit 2 host software building.

Nokia offers free download of Borland C++ Builder Mobile Edition 2.1.
It actually includes Borland C++ Builder 6 personal edition.

I am able to build Microchip's application using the downloaded BCB 6
personal edition.

The missing Winddk file like hdisdi.h and hid.lib can be download from
websites like http://www.alanmacek.com/usb/ or from Microsoft
(no more download but only free CD with shipment charge).

Take note that the hid.lib needs to be converted to Borland format
first.

coff2omf hid.lib b_hid.lib
and then rename b_hid.lib to hid.lib.

Put the hidsdi.h and hid.lib in the same directory of the PICkit 2
PC Application project.

If the coff2omf is not working for you, google says that you may
want to use implib and hid.dll from DDK but I have not tried out this.
