You have to grant Read permissions to the Network Service account on the “bin” directory and the “bin\en” directory for SQL Server 2005 .

Locations of the files:

1. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.x\OLAP\bin

Note MSSQL.x represents the corresponding value for the Version of Sql Server in the System.
