Well, if Vss is hardwired to +5V then it will be a real pain for that
chip... I guess you wanted to say Vdd is hardwired to +5V and Vss to gnd...

Look at the low voltage programming for low voltage programming otherwise
you need the Vpp/MCLR to be like at 12-13V  -- but this is generated by the
programmer.
Also sometimes 'PGD' is also known as ICSPDAT and 'PGC' as ICSPCLK.

You can also look at your chip's programmer's guide and pickit2 user manual
- so from the 6 pin of the pickit2 you can connect 5, Vpp, Vdd, Vss, pgc and
pgd.. The sixth one, pgm is for low voltage programming, you can wire that
one as well (to lvp pin, but not necessary). If your circuit does not
withraw too much power you can even let pickit2 to supply the voltage to the
circuit to either run or debug.
