Arduino Uno ISP programming using AVRISP mkII fails

I want to program Arduino Uno with ISP programmer AVRISP mkII.
In sketch the board name is "Arduino Uno" and programmer is "AVRISP mkII"

I have no USB cable on Uno but power is provided on ISP port together with AVRISP
Sketch stil reports COM4, it does not exist, and i installed Microchip AVR USB driver.
When uploading with programmer, i get the following error ;

     System wide configuration file is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf"

     Using Port                    : usb
     Using Programmer              : stk500v2

avrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb" (0x03eb:0x2104)

avrdude done. Thank you.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

What is wrong ?

The genuine AVR-ISP MKII is quite an old device, and it may be that drivers have not been kept up to date. I don't think it will power the Uno, so power has to be provided separately.

The Pololu USB AVR programmer V2.1 programmer works wonderfully well, is very inexpensive and their drivers are up to date. That programmer can also be set up to power the Uno,

I've attached the User Guide for the original AVRISP MKII
