User registration during install

[SPFPlus]

How do I create a user registration form during an install and send that information to our server? Is there a simple way to do this with Installshield?

The closest thing I can think of is using the XCopyFile function, which can accept a URL that in turn contains request parameters that the server can record...

How would you use the XcopyFile function to accomplish this?

By the looks of it, we need to create some custom actions to do this? I thought there would be a "standard" template which we can use because this sort of stuff is so common in any installations nowadays......

Something like this (I haven't tried it for a while), perhaps:

XCopyFile(
    "http://example.com/target.html?param1=hello&param2=there",
    "C:\\faketarget", COMP_NORMAL);

Come to think of it, please see the CopyFile help topic, which has a similar example.
