[PATCH 1/1] msi: MsiGetPropertyA return wrong length when called from a custom action.

[Mike McCormack]

---

This is a hack, however the correct way to achieve bug compatiblity is 
complicated.

MSI should run custom actions in a separate process and communicate with 
the main installer process via COM.  This is quite a lot of work which 
needs to be done anyway, but this patch will make us bug compatible with 
Microsoft's implementation in the mean time.

Furthermore, writing a test case for this behavior requires adding a dll 
contain custom action code to the dlls/msi/tests directory.  I can 
supply an MSVC project showing the problem.

See bug 5768 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5768) for more details.
