When I wont to program a PIC after I compiled the project. I get all the time an error message "Invalid processor detected in project or MPLAB.INI file" when I go to MPLAB.
Even when I wont to program other projects I get this message
I reinstalled MPLAB IDE v5.11 and CCS
What could be wrong here?

I think this might fix your problem:

In MPLAB, select the Project / Edit Project menu.
Then, in the Edit Project window, there is a box
in the middle that says "Development Mode".
Make sure that box is set for the same PIC as
is specified by the .H include file in your project.

Here is a tutorial that has a screen shot of the
Edit Project window.

Notice that "Development Mode" is set for "Editor Only 16F873".
This setting must match the include file in your C source file:
#include <16F873.H>
