How to create startup tasks for HPC Azure compute nodes

Is it possible to create startup tasks for Azure compute nodes?
The scenario is simple: Something should be installed (com, SDK etc.) before the compute node can run. In simple Azure Services we use startup tasks written to the service definition file. For HPC Azure compute nodes I did not find a way to write the service definition file. Does it means that there are no startup tasks?

Hi,
I think you can use node preparation task to achieve that goal. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff919631(WS.10).aspx

Did you manage to install tools or SDKs on Azure nodes using preparation tasks?
