Actually allow Admin Right Execution for Pre/Post Engine Scripting instead of lying in your Documentation
The documentation for DA (at least back to version 9.3) specifically states that you can add a switch (in this case /admin) to the end of the file name for any pre or post engine script, but that's not how it actually works! DA won't let you add spaces or switches to the file name. So I guess my idea is maybe, just maybe, you should make the product actually function like your own documentation states it does. Can't wait to find out what else DA doesn't do that it should!

I can’t blame you for your frustration that the product is not behaving as advertised! I will make sure that we link any Support case you may have in the system and also work with R&D to make sure we document the product pre/post scripting more accurately – or better yet, make sure we fix the switch capability you are looking for but could not find.
Problems are opportunities – thanks for your feedback so we can improve our product for you and many others.

Found this gripe via search while looking for some post engine scripting troubleshooting, and he is correct. when you try to hit space or / in the text box for the script, you get a validation warning that it's a non-accepted character.
However, if you paste the path to your script from DA into notepad and add /admin and then copy and paste the whole thing back in, it accepts it AND it worked, running the ps1 elevated and making a change to HKLM in my scenario.
So it's dumb, but that process/workaround does work.
