Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.

I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are

1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app 
5) move files from z to y

Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..

My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..

Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.
