Hello zwets. Welcome to Webmaster Forums.

You won't be able to use the / because all browsers will think that it is a directory. Not any way around that one.

If this script was on a Linux/Unix server then you could create a symlink to it pretty easily. If it is on a Windows server, you might try to see if you can alter the program to have /setup as the default setting. So instead of intranet/ica/wfica32.exe /setup, you would use intranet/ica/wfica32.exe. I don't think that you could use a Windows shortcut.

Hope this helps to give you some ideas.
