I had always the same problem. I have read that the https problem is
resolved installing the crypt32 package (winetricks). But I have been
unable to test it. Explorer 7 and Explorer 8 fails to install.

Explorer 6 installs sucessfully (with crypt32) but crashes with the
SSL problem that you mention.

I  have read some report that may be for Explorer 8 it can help wine
mono/wine gecko native. May be I can try to compile them.

It is still in pkgsrc : net/citrix_ica version 10.6.115659.

It worked until my company changed the certificates to godaddy. I have
been unable to configure the SSL certificates. I am thinking that it
can be the SSL client doesn't understand the new certificates. Can it
be?
