When using the ICD2 with dsPIC parts, the option to power from ICD2 is 
not available. The target has its own power.
The following is clipped from one of my posts to the Microchip forums:

It recently happened.
I have been developing on a dsPIC30F2010 in the same target circuit for 
several weeks (hobby project).
Using MPLAB 8.00 through the entire process.
I have an ICD2 40 pin header board with ZIF socket and have tried 16F 
and 18F parts powered from ICD2. It will raise VPP to programming 
voltage and and hold the chips in reset. When releasing from reset the 
ICD2 VPP line only rises to
approx. 1.8 VDC. I suspect the DG411 analog switch IC in the ICD2, whose 
purpose is switching the VPP line to the various voltages required. Any 
enlightenment is much appreciated although I fully understand that 
troubleshooting from afar is not ideal!
