Visual Basic Express 2008 Custom Error Message

I've programmed an autorun program. I would like to create a custom
error message when a person clicks on a button & the file is not in
the directory.

For example, the code for a button looks like this:
    Private Sub filename_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles filename.Click
        Shell("\file.exe", vbMaximizedFocus)
    End Sub

If I remove file.exe from the directory because they hadn't, for
example, purchased the software, I want a custom error message to
appear.

Can anyone help me with the code for this?

Wrong group.

This group is for Visual Basic. What you have is VB.NET. Two different
things entirely.

[Canned response]

This is a VB "classic" newsgroup. Questions about VB.NET (including VB
2005/2008 and VB Express, which have dropped .NET from their names) are
off-topic here.

Please ask .NET questions in newsgroups with "dotnet" in their names. The
*.vb.* groups are for VB6 and earlier. If you don't see the *.dotnet.*
groups on your news server, connect directly to the Microsoft server:
msnews.microsoft.com.

For questions specific to the VB.NET language, use this group:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

Please note that things like controls and data access, which have their own
subgroups in the Classic VB hierarchy, are not language-specific in .NET, so
you should look for groups like these:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet

(Note that "vb" is not present in the group name.)

MS gave you Express Edition to suck you into .NET BlackHole
