Call MSI using WDS Answer File

I recently setup the WDS role one on of our Server 2008R2 VMs and am using an answer file to make most of the install of Windows 7 silent.  What I would like to know, is it possible to call either a PowerShell script or msi install package during the install using that answer file?  

I looked through the components in the image (.wim) file, but did not see a way to do this.

You might look into the RunAsychronous or RunSyncronous sections...

ASKER

I saw those, but they only run during the WinPE phase, I need something during one of the later phases.
When precisely does it need to run? When the user first logs on?
Before user logs on, maybe the specialize phase
