NOTE: I'm using Wix 2.0.4415
I use Tallow to generate the Wix fragment. Here's an example of a

OK, after various tests attempting to create users under Active
Directory, I am dropping back to requiring that my users pre-create the
necessary users. I would like my installer to check for the existence
of the user. I can easily display a dialog box where they would enter
the user name and dom
