The easiest way is to use the FileExists method of the FileSystemObject object:
The easiest way is to use the FileExists method of the FileSystemObject object:
strComputer = "mypc001"
strDrive = "C"
strPathAndFile = "\windows\system32\shell32.dll"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strCompleteFile = "\\" & strComputer & "\" & strDrive & "$" & strPathAndFile
wscript.echo "Looking for the following file: " & VBCRLF & strCompleteFile
If objFSO.FileExists(strCompleteFile) Then
msgbox "The below file does exist:" & VBCRLF & strCompleteFile
Else
msgbox "The file does not exist: " & VBCRLF & strCompleteFile
End If

Why not use Wise's Check if File or Dir exists action?
...just use a UNC name: \\MyTargetPC\MyShare[$]\Myfile.bla
