Create a new users group for inno setup

Question

I need to create a new usersgroup, because it is not included in the ones already created :

authusers   Authenticated Users group
creatorowner    Creator Owner
everyone    Everyone group
guests  Guests group
networkservice  Network service account
service Local service account
system  Local system account
users   Users group

The usergroup that I need is IUSR, how can I grant all rights to this group ?

Inno Setup does not have any built-in functionality for creating users groups (nor accounts). Neither it allows settings permissions specifically for a certain group or account.

So for both, you need to invoke respective command-line tools.

For creating a user group, use net localgroup.

For setting permissions, use cacls or icalcs.
