Unable to process dimension - BPC 7 Microsoft

Question

hello,
I've installed BPC 7.0 SP3 and dimension processing doesn't work. (SQL 2005 SP3 Enterprise, IIS 6, Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise...)
Dimension processing stops at the beginning (step 1 - validating dimension) with this message: "An error has occurred during processing".
On BPC client computer, the log contained in "My DocumentsOutlookSoftLoggingAdminMemberProcess" shows these messages:
    DetailMsg  : {System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. --> Could not find file "D:BPCDataWebfoldersApShellAdminApp%CHANGED_DIM%.xls".
   at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.LateGet(Object o, Type objType, String name, Object[] args, String[] paramnames, Boolean[] CopyBack)
   at OSoft.Consumers.Admin.AdminMemberProcess50.Handle.OpenSheet(Boolean blnOpen, String strDimName)}
    DetailMsg  : {System.Exception: The system cannot find a cache file for this dimension.
   at OSoft.Consumers.Admin.AdminMemberProcess50.Handle.GetInformation(ArrayList aryAppList, ArrayList aryDimList, String strDefaultDim, Boolean blnFullProcess, Boolean blnOpenSheet, Boolean blnIsOpened, ArrayList& aryOpenDim, String& sMessage)}
==============[System Error Tracing  End ]==============
Has anyone seen this before ?
I'm able to modify/process and optimize Apshell applications and Server Manager and client diagnostics are OK. No error message in event logs... So where is the problem ?
Thanks for your help. R.

Hi Sorin
I have one server for SQL/OLAP and one server for Files, Web and Application.
I've offered EVERYONE all rights on folders.
BPC Setup puts XCEEDZIP.DLL in Websrvr in and
install guide tells to put ANTIXSSLibrary.dll in Websrvrweb in
Do you agree with that ?
I've put XCEEDZIP.DLL and ANTIXSSLibrary.dll in BOTH folders (but tell me if the rule above is enough) and now:
I don't have any more error message when opening BPC admin.And ADMINCACHE_.zip file is not destroyed any more when refreshing dimension client files. That's better...But...
...when I want to process dimensions I still have an error message but a little different:
{System.Exception: Cannot find dimension member sheet file; use the export dimension feature to restore it from the member table...}
Do we still need an OSOFT Share and if we need it, where ? On the folder above webfolders ?
Folders (but not files inside them), folders remain with "Read" property greyed and checked. I do not know why. Whenever I uncheck the folders and apply...close the window and re-open they seem to be still with this property "Read" greyed and checked... Is it normal ?
Thanks a lot for your help. R.
NB: with File Monitor tool from sysinternals (Microsoft) we can see that we are back to the first error:
if we are processing the account dimension for example, dllhost.exe will work with account.xls file, then with account.xls.zip file, account.xls.zip.001 file and account.xlsTemp_ file and then it fails to find the %CHANGED_DIM%.xls file...
