Problem with using IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD within script
I am trying the dynamically update a database connection within a web.config file. But when I try to use the property IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD, the property only returns the first letter of the password.

How do you retrieve the value of the IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD property? I just tested with the MsiGetProperty function in an InstallScript custom action, and I was able to get the whole string stored in the property.
function MyFunction(hMSI)
// To Do: Declare local variables.
string szValue;
number nValue;
begin
// To Do: Write script that will be executed when MyFunction is called.
nValue = 250;
MsiGetProperty(ISMSI_HANDLE, "IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD", szValue, nValue);
MessageBox( szValue, MB_OK );
end;
