WebIntelligence Processing Server fails to start

Question

Hi,
last weekend we upgraded a working BOE XI 3.0 SP3 + SAP IK XI 3.0 SP 3 to BOE XI 3.1 SP3 and SAP IK 3.1 SP3 (Windows 2003 server). The sequence was:
-Applied the 3.1 upgrade to existing BO XI 3.0 SP3
- Applied the 3.1 upgrade to existing SAP IK
- Applied SP3 on top of the new BO XI 3.1
- Applied SP3 on top of the new SAP IK.
There were some problems but we managed to finish the installation, apparently with no problems; but users complained next day about a RWI 00226 error. We discovered (through the Windows Event manager and the logs) that the Webi Processing Server was unable to start from the first upgrade made (from 3.0 to 3.1). Most of our reports are Deski so we were not aware of that problem at that moment.
We tried to start the server from the CMC but the server entered into 'Fail' status. We cloned the server and deleted the old one but with the same results; we renamed the <BOXIDir>/Data directory but things didn't go better.
Then we were able to reproduce the same actions performed on the production environment, and exactly with the same results: all the other servers were working correctly but WebIntelligenceServer was still unable to start.
I will try to get more information by setting the trace argument to the server, but has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thanks!

Yes, we deleted the old one, deleted the cache, created a new one, etc. But the same results.
More info about this problem, got with -trace:

Here the first error:

Next, the second:

Finally, the Webi is dropped:

Hope this help
