After a lot of searching I finally found how to install the feature. 

you need to run the msi file with the following switch

AcroRead.msi ADDLOCAL=ThumbnailPreviewHandler

 

 

Hope that no one will have the troubles I had with adobe the last 2 weeks.

Acrobat Reader has no command line options like this. You may be able to find a registry key to set, but I suspect it would need to be redeployed, as it may have to turn on/off system components.

You probably need to use the info in the Enterprise Deployment kit. https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/
