PIC-MCP-USB Won't program

[dsekhar]

I have purchased a brand new PIC-MSP-USB, and am attempting to program a PIC16f684 with MPLAB IDE v.8.92 via the ZIF socket. However, when I select PICSTART+ on MPLAB and attempt to enable the programmer, I get the following message:

This device requires firmware version 04.10.00 or higher.
This may require purchasing a PICSTART Plus upgrade
kit

Any thoughts and assistance would be greatly appreciated!
