Well first off you'd need to capture the details of an account which has permissions to create accounts in the domain. Generally this is a domain admin account but accounts can have permissions delegated to them so it doesn't necessarily have to be. Then you'd need to connect to a domain controller which allows new accounts to be created (Server 2008 DC's can be read-only) which you may need to ask details of rather than pull from the LOGONSERVER environment variable. Then you'd need to check the permissions of the account you were given were valid on that domain. Then you could try creating the account by asking the user the normal account creation questions (username, name, password) & either provide defaults for the 4 password options or ask the user what they want to do for those. That's the basic account stuff, it doesn't cover Exchange properties for creating a mailbox etc.
None of that is supported by default by Windows Installer or WiX. You'd need to write 3 or 4 UI pages & the same number of Custom Actions if not more just to get it working in a basic manner. This sort of thing is way more trouble than it's worth especially if you start making assumptions. Good Luck.
