Citrix app shortcut prompts to Download .ica file in Internet Explorer 9

[Elias Blackman]

I would use Citrix app in Internet Explorer 7 without any problem. Now that I updated my web browser to Internet explorer 9, the Citrix app prompts me to download some ica file. I click on ‘Ok’ and the download begins. The downloading process goes on for very long time maybe about for 15 to 20 minutes. After it completes 75% of the download, it just stops and nothing happens. My browser is stuck in this problem. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

This problem is caused when the browser restricts access to encrypted file. I had this problem when I was using Presentation Server 4.0. It created conflicts between the firewall of Windows OS and the Internet Explorer’s internal security system. I suggest you to turn off the SmartScreen Filter and perform a clean boot. This will clear the issue of login from external URL.
