Biblatex bibliography no longer shows up

Question

I don't know what is going on, but I've moved computers and my biblatex bibliography no longer gets printed.

I do the usual:

\addbibresource{references.bib}
\nocite{*}
...
\printbibliography
\end{document}

I am using TeXworks and click on the play button with the "pdfLaTex" selected. But there is no bibliography that gets generated! All it says is:

54 LaTeX Warning: Empty bibliography on input line 54.

which is the line that says \printbibliography.

I am using Windows 7. I tried MikTeX, and just tried TeXworks (from TeX Live) – same thing.

I have no idea what's going on, any help?

i have to ask: did you copy the file references.bib to the new computer??? — oz123, Jul 30 '11 at 05:53
Yes, it's in the same folder as the file I am compiling "main.tex". — Andriy Drozdyuk, Jul 30 '11 at 05:58
Did you run latex - bibtex - latex? (Sorry, really a wild guess...) — Rainer, Jul 30 '11 at 10:53
@Rainer: thanks for the guess! I converted this into a comment to the question, as the answer space below is reserved for real answers. — Stefan Kottwitz, Jul 30 '11 at 11:12
Edited: I am using "TeXworks" and have "pdfLaTeX" option selected when I press "play" button. — Andriy Drozdyuk, Jul 30 '11 at 19:33
As Rainer hinted: Compile with "pdflateX", then "BibTeX", then "pdfLaTeX". — lockstep, Jul 30 '11 at 19:43

Ok the problem was that I used bibtex and no "biber" to compile my latex file. I found an answer on SO:

From the topmenu: Build/Define Output Profiles/

Path to bibtex executable: "fill in location of biber.exe"

Command line arguments to pass to Bibtex: "%bm" (is same as main file's full path without extension)
