This is a MAKEMSI vbscript custom action that can create a user a group should be very similar
(my guess is replace "user" with "group"):

I need some help. I would like to create a group with my MSI package. I need
the group to able to ad users to it and use it for athentication. Do someone
have any good idea how to create a group in a MSI?

Thanks

There's no builkt-in support in MSI, so it's going to be a custom action,
probably C++ because it's not obvious to me that any other language has the
required support. So this is really a programming question about how to use
the NetGroupAdd function.
