How to create a new user account with WiX?

I have made a bootstrapper-project with WiX 3.8, including an installation file (WXS) for the prerequisite SQL Server Express. In the InstallCommand-Property of the ExePackage, which i'm using for the installation of SQL Server Express, i set /SQLSVCACCOUNT and /SQLSVCPASSWORD. So i need to create the user account before the installation of the prerequisite.

How and at which place shall this be done?

Use the User element in the Util extension.

If you are unsure about how to use elements defined by extensions, read the How To: Use WiX Extensions topic.

This information is also in a CHM that is installed by the WiX installer in the WiX program files folder.
