Proteus 8 does not support MPLAB 8. You need to be running MPLAB X (the new stuff). MPLAB 8 is supported in Proteus 7.

hi spudboy,
i also hav a older version of Proteus. it is proteus 7.8, this will work for VSM??

It should.

I have MPLAB v8.92 installed on my Win8.1 64bits PC.
I just installed an old Proteus 7.9 SP1 version yesterday.
Then I started MPLAB,
-loaded the installed Proteus PIC-DEM2 MCW project
-Loaded the associate .ASM code file
-Clicked Debugger/Select Tool/Proteus VSM
But doing so there was no Proteus schematic window poping up...(!!!)
and I could not figure why this was happening..

So I gave up and the next day I had an idea about something
I could have forgot.. --> Run MPLAB as administrator!
So I right clicked on the MPLAB icon properties
and selected 'run as administrator' then clicked OK.
Doing so now I see the Proteus popup window coming up
whenever I select the Debugger Proteus VSM simulation plugin inside MPLAB.
I also run the Proteus 7 Professional standalone program as administrator.
This trick is probably also needed inside Windows 7.
Hope this could help !
