Inno Setup to create a user in Windows

Question

I´m start user in inno Setup, but I need to create an user in Windows with a password that need input during installation.

Like in CheckSerial where is needed input a name, I need someway to cap this name and other field to insert a password.

On DOS I can create a user with:

net user USER PWD /add /fullname:"USER" /comment:"TEST" /expires:never /passwordchg:no

I got it in

[Run]
Filename: net.exe; parameters: "user USER PWD /add /fullname:""USER"" /comment:""TEST"" /expires:never /passwordchg:no"

But I need input name and password of this user. I think it's possible in [Code].

There is a great example on how to get user data from a custom page and use it with "{code:FunctionName|Argument}" in other sections: https://github.com/jrsoftware/issrc/blob/master/Examples/CodeDlg.iss

Short overview:

Add a TInputQueryWizardPage in InitializeWizard.

[Code]
var
  UserPage: TInputQueryWizardPage;

procedure InitializeWizard;
begin
  UserPage := CreateInputQueryPage(wpWelcome,
    'Personal Information', 'Who are you?',
    'Please specify your name and password.');
  UserPage.Add('Name:', False);
  UserPage.Add('Password:', True);
end;

Add a function called GetUser like that returns the requested value:

function GetUser(Param: String): String;
begin
  if Param = 'Name' then
    Result := UserPage.Values[0]
  else if Param = 'Password' then
    Result := UserPage.Values[1];
end;

Use the input data in the Run command:

[Run]
Filename: net.exe; parameters: "user {code:GetUser|Name} {code:GetUser|Password} /add /fullname:""USER"" /comment:""TEST"" /expires:never /passwordchg:no"
