NW2004 Installation - MaxDB error

Question

Hi,
I am using win xp prof(SP2)laptop system and trying to install ABAP NW2004s. I keep getting below error message.
I did follow the guidelines as mentioned in the document.
But stuck at 17 of 24 phase(Import ABAP) with below message heading as "Reload.exe - Unable to Locate Component"
with error message as below:
"This application has failed to start because libSQLDBC76.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
Did anyone experience the same problem. Please share your solution/workaround with me.
thanks,
partha

Hello Partha,
As of NW 2004s, the new MaxDB DBSL (dbsdbslib) and therefore the    
disp+work uses the Library libSQLDBC76 of the MAXDB 7.6.00 installation
client.  
The Reload tool can't find the libSQLDBC76.dll which needed to connect
to a 7.6 MaxDB database.                    
(The MaxDB client on application servers must always be on the same                        
major release version as the database server)
Please update with the following information:
1) Run the command                                                                               
sdbverify                                                                               
if you have the packages are marked as corrupted.                                          
2) What is output of the 'sdbregview -l' command?  
3) When you will run 'xinstinfo' you will get <IndepPrograms>.
   If you installed the MAXDB version 7.6, please check libSQLDBC76.dll
   in the directory <IndepPrograms>\pgm.
   Please check that the PATH variable was adjusted by <IndepPrograms>\pgm
   & <IndepPrograms>\bin.                                       
4) Run the command                                                                               
DBUPDATE.BAT -client                                                                  
   from the MaxDB RDBMS CD to update the Client software 
   Or
   Using the SDBINST tool, proceed as follows to install the client         
   software < as administrator > with the following options:                                                                               
SDBINST -profile "Runtime For SAP AS"                                                                               
from the directory where you unpacked the MAXDB SAR file.
   ( Please run with 'SDBINST -l' to review the existing profiles & packagenames. )                                
5) The xuser data have the correct user/pwd/server/database name
   information from the connected to the <SID> system database.
   As you know, as of Version 7.5, you must only maintain correctly the Xuser
   entries for the users <sid>adm (UNIX/Windows) and SAPService<sid> (Windows only).
   You could find more information about xuser tool:
Run command 'xuser -h'.
