passing parameters to app in MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN

Hi all, is there a way to pass some parameters to my application. These are working fine for creating the shortcuts with the installer as below

CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\Bla Bla \linky.lnk" "$INSTDIR\app.exe" " --opt t" "$INSTDIR\VC.ico"

But when it comes to launching the app with MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN I can't seem to find the correct syntax to get the app to run or not cause the compiler to fail.

This one fails to launch the application
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\app.exe --opt t"

This one causes the compiler to choke.
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\app.exe" " --opt t"


Any help in getting the above lines correct so that "--opt t" is added to the app.exe when launched at the end of the installation?

Many thanks for your time.
