Hello Romanu,

Please ensure all PDF Viewing applications are closed when you start the next steps.
Then open the stand alone Viewer, and go to Edit -> Preferences -> File associations...
Click the "Make Default Viewer" and if you wish also the "Display PDF in Browser" check box, then click apply, OK, and close the Viewer.

From now on when you double click on a PDF file it should launch with our Viewer.
Please make sure that you have permissions to write to the registry with this user account, and check your AV software if it is not blocking registry entries.

Best,
Stefan
