Use the 'new[]' operator, ie:

    void __fastcall TMDIChild::Test1Click(TObject *Sender)
    {
        WideString members[] = {L"Administrator", L"guest"};
        AddGroupMembers("Test", members, 2);
    }

    void __fastcall TMDIChild::AddGroupMembers(const WideString &Group,
WideString *Members, int Count)
    {
        LOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_3 *info = new
LOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_3[Count];

        for(int i = 0; i < Count; ++i)
            info[i].lgrmi3_domainandname = Members[i];

        NetLocalGroupAddMembers(NULL, Group, 3, (LPBYTE)info, Count);
        delete[] info;
    }

Alternatively, the Win32 API approach is to use LocalAlloc() or
GlobalAlloc(), ie:

    void __fastcall TMDIChild::AddGroupMembers(const WideString &Group,
WideString *Members, int Count)
    {
        LOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_3 *info = (LOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_3*)
LocalAlloc(LMEM_FIXED, sizeof(LOCALGROUP_MEMBERS_INFO_3) * Count);

        if( info )
        {
            for(int i = 0; i < Count; ++i)
                info[i].lgrmi3_domainandname = Members[i];

            NetLocalGroupAddMembers(NULL, Group, 3, (LPBYTE)info, Count);

            LocalFree(info);
        }
    }
