Getting this error when compiling.
if I change the include to be "#include <18F26K20.h>" instead of
#include <18F26K80.h>
then the device is found
using PCH 4.053 and have compiled this source code before.
Any thoughts

Did you accidentally move the .h file out of the Devices directory ?
Do a search of all likely places that you might have moved the file to.
You can use the Windows search engine for this. Also look in the
Windows Recycle Bin.

I believe version 4.053 came out in 2007 and the PIC18F26K80 wasn't even n beta testing until late 2010.

He is saying:
"using PCH 4.053 and have compiled this source code before"
So he should try PCM programmer advice

Best wishes

I installed 4.053 and it's not there. the closest is 26k20

I think Gaugeguy is undoubtedly right. My guess would be that the poster actually used a different chip when he 'compiled it before', possibly something like the 2680, rather than the 26K80....

Support for the 26K80, didn't appear till the low 4.100 versions (it wasn't there in 4.112, but was in 4.114). Late 2010.
