Latest Acrobat update - breaks index search

The latest Acrobat update breaks the index search. Apparently this is a known bug? (Problem: [Win-only] Acrobat is not able to load the associated index of a PDF file. [4323902])  This is a BIG issue for my clients. On my system I get no error message. On a coworkers system they get the message "search could not load the index.  May need to rebuild the index." Rebuilding all previous indexes would be unacceptable. I have an older reader version "XI" that still reads the indexes fine. Is there a solution or workaround to this issue???

This is not a solution. This is a workaround. 

Manually loading an index is not an alternative for the automatic opening via double click.

I need a solution, not a workaround.

As I posted earlier this update fixes loading the PDX index problem. BUT I have come across another issue that I believe is related. I launch Acrobat and pass along a BPDX file as an argument so acrobat should launch and rebuild / build the PDX file set. Since the update of 20135 this is not working. The 20138 patch does NOT fix this problem. Acrobat does launch and the index screen pops up but an error message appears "fatal search engine error (-6) not able to find the file".  This seems related to the original problem so I would bet the solutions are related.  Please advise.
