Launch Citrix ICA File or Link from AIR App

Question

I'm pretty sure that I cannot launch an ICA file on my PC (if
possible please tell me how) from an AIR application, but I'm not
quite sure why I cannot consistently launch the http link to the
ICA file.
URL is something like this:
http://123.145.167.189/Domain/site/launch.ica?NFuse_Application=Citrix.MPS.App.LOCATION+DO MAIN+farm.Application+DOMAIN+LOCATION&NFuse_AppFriendlyNameURLENcoded=Application+DOMAIN+L OCATION
If the web browser is already open to the address(sometimes
just if the browser is open):
http://123.145.167.189/Domain/site/default.aspx
then the ICA file launches correctly. If the web browser is
closed, then the link to the ICA file simply opens the browser to
the base page,
http://123.145.167.189/Domain/site/default.aspx.
Any ideas?

Hi,
As specified by other people here in the forum, it is certainly possible to call a CSH AIR help from any AIR application. Please check the forum post http://forums.adobe.com/message/2272289#2272289
You need to know your AIR Help application ID, and the publisher ID.
Application ID is the one which was specified in the AIR SSL dialog in RoboHelp 8 AIR SSL dialog (Help ID).
The publisher ID for an installed application can be found in the META-INF/AIR/publisherid file within the application install directory. This Publisher ID is generated using the digital certificate provided while generating the AIR Help in AIR SSL dialog.
Once Application ID, and Publisher ID are known to the developer, he/she can call the AIR help by using the Following Flex code
private function invocarAirHelp(tema:String):void {
      var appID:String = "abc";
      var pubID:String = "ashfksdhfkjsdfk.1";
      var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager("airappinstaller");               
     mgr.launch("-launch " + appID + " " + pubID + " -- -csh mapnumber 1");
Hope this explanation will help you.
