How do you set Adobe reader as the default pdf viewer in windows 10 during installation?

Question

My organization is currently planning on using Adobe reader 11 in a Windows 10 enterprise environment. We are trying to install adobe reader, and have it be (by default, for all users) the default PDF viewer. Windows default pdf browser is edge, which results in issues in our environment.

We have also created a customized OS WIM, and all the applications are installed during the deployment process.

Are there any registry keys we can change during or after the installation to do this?

or command line switches during the installation that will set it without the user needing to start the application and manually set it as the default viewer? If we can't do it in Adobe reader 11, can it be done using Adobe Reader DC?

If you want to use the current version that gets security updates, that would be Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.Adobe Acrobat XI and Adobe Reader XI End of Support | Adobe Blog
