How to make simple file copy with progress bar?

Not sure what you mean, but try the /qb command line switch

I'm using InstallShield X Primier. And don't you know how to make screen where we see installation progrees and how to copy files to two different dirs using this tool.

InstallShield X generates Windows Installer (MSI) based setups. It includes a progress dialog. If you only want to display the progress dialog and no other dialogs, you can either remove the other dialogs from the sequence (in Sequence view) or use the obove mentioned command liine switch when you launch the generated msi file.
You can set the destination directory for each component in component view for isntance (or when you add the files in Files view) so you can easily install tow files into to different directories. If you need to install two copies of a file in to locations, then you need to add a row to the DuplicateFiles table in Direct Editor.

If yu need to copy a file to multiple locations you should add rows to the DuplicateFile table in Direct Editor
