How to automate wordpress installation in subdomain

Question

How can I automate the installation of wordpress in a subdomain?

Example:

Upon registration user1 would get automatically wordpress on user1.domain.com.

Then, upon registration user2 would get his own wordpress on user2.domain.com, etc.

I can program a little bit PHP, but I would rather avoid any programming and would prefer a ready-made solution if it exists.

Thank you in advance for your help. Any hint is appreciated.

Do they have to be separate wordpress installations? Depending on what you want to do, it might be better (read: more efficient) to have each user get a category or a custom post type or something. If possible, can you clarify what your end goal is? — mor7ifer, Commented Feb 4, 2012 at 21:30
@m0r7if3r My goal is to create a website (based on wordpress) for each user. So I think it make sense to provide a separate wordpress install for each user. I am open to other ideas. I am still trying to figure out the best way to generate websites for users on subdomains. — Timothée HENRY, Commented Feb 4, 2012 at 21:35
@m0r7if3r Thanks a lot. I overlooked wordpress multisite. That's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I still don't know is how to automatically create a new user in a wordpress multisite. — Timothée HENRY, Commented Feb 4, 2012 at 21:49

Ok, thanks to m0r7if3, I found the two pieces of information I was looking for:

wordpress multisite
"Automatically create a new WordPress site in your Network associated with the user that is created." -> http://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/user-registration/

It's pretty self explanatory. He needs to auto install WP, and we released a free script for the community to do just that. How else can it be explained - there's no need to post code here.
