Windows 11 and setting reader as default viewer PDF via XML

[Logan293405682uuq]

I’m creating a Win 11 image and in there I’ve got an XML file that’s configured to tell windows to use Adobe Reader as the default pdf viewer. This is mirroring the publicly available XML doc Adobe provides. The issue is that while this same XML worked fine when I had it in Windows 10, in Windows 11 it won’t make reader the default pdf viewer. Windows 11 still shows nothing it selected to view PDF files. I need to set this so all users of the image will have reader as the default pdf viewer. Idk why it doesn’t work in 11 when it was fine in 10. Do I need to set the xml and still open the app and set it as the default viewer?? Anyone else run into this??

Hi @Logan293405682uuq ,

What version of Acrobat Pro was used before on Microsoft Windows 10: 32-bit or 64-bit?

In any case, see if you've missed some of the steps required in order to avoid producing a truncated XML file:
