Post-synchronisation script: runs before or after initial snapshot?

We know the script is execute at first VM creation time, at rebalance, recompose and refresh operation. In the View documentation, it said Quickprep runs in the customization phase and at the end the snapshot for that VM is taken (vdm-initial-checkpoint). But if Quickprep is execute during customization phase, it should run the post-synchronisation script too before the snapshot takes place?

If the answer is "after the snapshot", how can we run a script before? For example, we want to deploy a big software on in each VM with silent install and this takes aroud 7 minutes to complete. Very too long if this happen at each refresh time... I know we can include this software in our master image, this will save space I know BUT this will create a new replica. We have around 10 computer labs with différents softwares in each and for simplicity we try everything to keep the less possible master images, it is a lot easier to maintain. Usually we use ThinApp, Appv to achieve this but this software could not be virtualisez. Someone can help or have some clue?

Ok, we found in the vmware-viewcomposer-ga-new.log file. The Quickprep post-synchronisation script runs after the snapshot. But the question remains: how execute a script in the custumization phase before the initial snapshot?
