After neglecting Windows and Texniccenter for a time, I am now trying to setup my windows machine to also work with my biber files. I was following this very extensive answer.
My working file is exactly that working example, called LaTeX1.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}% http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}% http://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex
\begin{filecontents*}{references.bib}
@article{mybibkey,
author = {A. Author},
title = {Some amazing work of art},
journal = {A fur realz journal},
volume = {17},
number = {3},
year = {2013},
pages = {1--99}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
\begin{document}
See~\cite{mybibkey}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
However, it fails to compile. Here's what I believe to be the relevant excerpt of the log file:

Here's the content of the LateX1.blg:

I can assure you that in my Texniccenter profile, I have the path to the bibtex executable set as C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\biber.exe and the command line argument "%bm"
