PICKit 2 question

If I have a .hex file made by another compiler, can I use the MPLAB IDE and PICKIT 2 to program a PIC with the hex file? Thanks!

Sure, just 'import' the hex file with MPLAB; or you can use the PICKIT2 Programmer software.

Once it is Intel format, you should have no issue.
Even there is a slight possibility it could be other format, you can still use some thirty part tool to convert it to Intel hex format.
So please don't worry.
