Errors connecting to an offline cube (.cub) file

Question

I am trying to execute a C# project that creates a local cube (.cub) file and processes data taken from an existing processed cube on Analysis Services 2012.
The project runs correctly when I use a connection string that points (and hence writes) to another database on Analysis Services. But when I execute the project using the following connection string that points to the local cube file to be created, it gives
me error: 
conn.ConnectionString =
string.Format( "Provider=MSOLAP;Data Source={0}", "c:\\output\\mycube.cub" );
When referenced to ADOMD 11 library, I get the following errors:
1. OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow
remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.; 08001; Client unable to establish connection; 08001; Encryption not supported on the client.; 08001.
2. Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of 'DB_NAME', Name of 'DB_NAME'.
When referenced to ADOMD 12 library, I get the following error:
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
Although, I know SQL Server Analysis Services are running in services.msc.
