32-bit iFilter with Reader 11.0.10 cannot be found by SQL 2012 Fulltext Indexing on Windows 7 32 bit. How can I fix this?

Question

I have verified that a record shows up in the fulltext system components (EXEC sys.sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter').
componenttype    componentname    clsid    fullpath    version    manufacturer
filter    .pdf    E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRdIF.dll    11.0.0.379    Adobe Systems, Inc.
I have also added Reader's installation folder to my system PATH variable, and ran these 3 things:
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages';
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
and then dropped and re-created my fulltext index.  For each row in the table, I receive a message like this:
Warning: No appropriate filter was found during full-text index population for table or indexed view '[DocumentIndexing].[dbo].[Document]' (table or indexed view ID '277576027', database ID '8'), full-text key value '17'. Some columns of the row were not indexed.
In the Registry, under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT / .pdf / PersistentHandler is the value {F6594A6D-D57F-4EFD-B2C3-DCD9779E382E}.
I have tried several times to install/fix my PDF installation, restart SQL Server, Reboot my laptop, etc.  All to no avail.
I saw the article on the 64-bit filter and was able to successfully do that on another workstation (Windows 8.1 64-bit SQL 2012).  However, I really need this working on my laptop.
Do you have a solution or workaround or some recommendations for me to move forward with this?
Thanks,
Dave

Answer 1

I found the solution.  Here it is:
Take backup of below registry key.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid This key should ideally have the GUID of the machine without curly braces, so {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} becomes xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Then delete the braces.
Try to reboot and start the SQL service . If service don’t start then Uninstall and reinstall SQL.
The MachineGuid had curly braces so I removed them and rebooted my laptop.  Now both instances of SQL Server start.  It is the last post of this thread:

He states that he got it from Microsoft but did not give the url.
Thanks for all your help.
