Resolution:
Reviewing the two places, the reading resource error occured when it was trying to run dsmgmt.exe but it was not installed on customer's machine.
The RSAT was installed before ADLDS so the tools were not installed.
Here is the download link for RSAT:
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
If your machine is 64-bit, install the x64 and if 32-bit, install x86 version.
Customer had to uninstall Update for Microsoft Windows (KB958830) and reinstall it now that AD LDS was installed.
COPY FILES FROM BIN DIRECTORY
For 32-bit machines
Start Net Express 32-Bit command prompt run as administrator
For 64-Bit machines
Start Net Express 32-Bit command prompt run as administrator
set TEMP=C:\\ADLDS
Create a new directory called C:\\ADLDS and copy the es-ldap-setup.cmd and the *.ldf files from $COBDIR\\base\\bin to it.
From the ADLDS directory, run es-ldap-setup entering your userid and password and the localhost:port if not using 389
RUN SCRIPT FROM THE ADLDS DIRECTORY
