Hi,
You can try to use this.
ON error resume next
Function DeleteFIle ()
ON error resume next
file1 = "c:\temp\1.msi"
file2 = "c:\temp\2.msi" 'destination filee
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set plik = fso.GetFile(file1)
plik.Copy file2 'copy file to destination folder
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Please close program"
Err.Clear
wscript.sleep 5000 'time in ms
result = DeleteFIle()
else
WScript.Echo "File was repleced"
end if
End function
result = DeleteFIle()
msgbox "THX"

I think this will only prompt when file2 is an executable. Otherwise, it will just overwrite file2 even though it is open.
If it's just program files that you need to check are open, you could use the Win32_Process class in WMI and even terminate the process if it is in use.
