Biblatex and authoryear not working as expected

Question

I'm using MikTex 2.9.5105 with TeXnicCenter 2.02 Stable and have no to basic knowledge of LaTeX.

I want my citations to have the form

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet (Kosiol 1961, S. 319) consectetuer adipiscing elit Kosiol (1961).

In the preamble

\usepackage[
    style=authoryear,
    isbn=false
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{EndfassungLiteraturDatenbank.bib}

...

\printbibliography

In the .bib

@Article{Kosiol1961,
  Title                    = {Modellanalyse als Grundlage unternehmerischer Entscheidungen},
  Author                   = {Kosiol, E.},
  Journal                  = {ZfbF 13},
  Year                     = {1961},
  Pages                    = {318-334},

  Owner                    = {Karl},
  Timestamp                = {2015.04.09}
}

In the text

\parencite[319]{Kosiol1961} --> expecting "(Kosiol 1961, S. 319)"
\textcite[319]{Kosiol1961} --> expecting "Kosiol (1961, S. 319)"

Current output after 4 times of compilation

\parencite[319]{Kosiol1961} --> (Kosiol1961)
\textcite[319]{Kosiol1961} --> Kosiol1961

The bibliography is not printed at all.

Welcome, apparently you speak german. https://github.com/johannesbottcher/HinweiseLitverzeichnisse/blob/master/Hinweise.md#troubleshooting — Johannes_B, Jun 21 '15 at 15:39
If the outputted stuff is in bold face, please read from the beginning. — Johannes_B, Jun 21 '15 at 15:41
Thanks for your great support. I solved the problem within a minute :) — Karl, Jun 21 '15 at 16:23
@Johannes_B: it is no longer true that one has to install biber manually in miktex 64bit, a package has been added. — Ulrike Fischer, Jun 21 '15 at 16:55
This seems to be a duplicate of the stock Question mark instead of citation number, then. — moewe, Jun 21 '15 at 17:43

Solution

Thanks to Johannes_B and his brilliant github site https://github.com/johannesbottcher/HinweiseLitverzeichnisse/blob/master/Hinweise.md#troubleshooting I managed to achieve my desired citations and bibliography.

I had to put biber.exe, a replacement for the bibtex.exe, in MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\
I had to change one line in my output profile in TexnicCenter: ALT + F7 opens the profiles dialog. There you set the path to the BibTex-compiler. Replace bibtex.exe with biber.exe
Compile the document several times with CTRL + F5
