Launch ica file

[Muzzy]

Hi All,

I need to launch a ica (Citrix) file using VBScript. I have got nowhere with this and decided I need help! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

What code do you have thus far?

You will need to launch the Citrix client and pass the ICA file on the command line after the executable.

Do you have any sample code to display how I would do this?

I thought this would do it but having trouble passing the arguments correctly.

Anyway this should get you started. It does launch connection manager, just not the connection.

On Error Resume Next
Dim WSHShell
Set WSHShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")
ICAConnectionName = "mirage"
Call WSHShell.Exec(Chr(34)& "C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\pn.exe" & Chr(34) & " /APP"& Chr(34) & ICAConnectionName& Chr(34))
WScript.Quit(0)

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Regards,

Mark

Try using WFICA32.EXE in place of pn.exe and pass the full path to the ICA file. I don't think you need the /APP switch unless you are not using an application specific ICA file.
