I am using 10.5 Pro version and I want to create a local (and also learn how to create a
domain user) user on the system. I don't want to show the user a dialog where they enter a user name, password etc. but I want to create it automatically. How do I do this? Can I write it in installscript? Do I have to create a DLL and call a function in that or how do I do it? How can I automatically delete the account when my product is uninstalled?

Thanks

run command "NET USER /?" from command prompt and see the results.
May be this will help.

Well the whole idea with a tool like InstallShield is to create a standard install package. If I am forced to use shell commands I might just as well create a batch file for the installation.

well, create a "standard" custom action of type "Launch an executable" "Stored in property table" in Your "standard install package".

I was just looking into this myself. Take a look in the Windows Installer section of the InstallShield Help>Custom Actions>Using Custom Actions>How do I use a custom action to create user accounts on the local computer. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks as though it's fully supported by Windows Installer.
Hope this helps.
