Where to place powershell script in unattend.xml

I am currently having trouble running powershell script within the unattend.xml file that I have. The powershell is supposed install applications, but the xml file can't seem to run the line for the script.

I have gone back and forth between using <FirstLogonCommands>, <RunSynchronousCommand>, and <SynchronousCommand>

<FirstLogonCommands>
   <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
    <CommandLine>Powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File \\deploy\RemoteInstall\WdsClientUnattend\deploySoftware.ps1</CommandLine>
    <Description>Installs software</Description>
    <Order>1</Order>
   </SynchronousCommand>
</FirstLogonCommands>

This command is supposed run the ps1 script that installs applications from our server.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but if it's not necessary to have the command in the autounattend.xml file, I'd suggest you try putting the command in \sources\$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd file.

Make the cmd file first with the powershell command, like this

PowerShell.exe /W Normal -ExecutionPolicy Bypass ...

then test if it works correctly by running it manually. If it does, put it in the above mentioned directory and try installing windows again.
