Question

@daniel I did run biber and it does not show any mismatch in version @moewe. Here is the result.

Result of \listfiles:

Usually your .blg (biblatex .log file) should end with INFO - Writing 'thesis.bbl with encoding XXX, which I don't see here. This may be due to your warning. You should update to a more recent version of [biber](http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/) and [biblatex`](http://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex)... — Werner, Dec 15 '13 at 05:19
updated miktex packages but problem still persists. any thing else shall i check? — user42754, Dec 15 '13 at 06:51
If you still get the same warning that you didn't updated your miktex correctly. If you have a multiuser installation You need to run the update manager in user and admin mode. — Ulrike Fischer, Dec 15 '13 at 09:59

biber is updated to version 1.8 but still i m getting the same warnings — user42754, Dec 15 '13 at 12:51
@user42754 Can you cook up a minimal working example? Does the problem persist if you try to compile a different document? — moewe, Dec 15 '13 at 14:02

@user42754 You can [edit] your question to add code and information. — doncherry, Dec 15 '13 at 14:09

Your example has some lacks:

There is no \begin{document}
You didn't load the external file which is normally done by \addbibresource{ <filename>.bib}
You need either to cite the relevant entry or use \nocite{} as explained here: Using BibTeX to make a list of references without having citations in the body of the document?

Based on this information here an example which should work on your machine ( I also removed not needed packages:

\documentclass[]{report}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{biblio.bib}
@article{glashow,
  author       = {Glashow, Sheldon},
  title        = {Partial Symmetries of Weak Interactions},
  journaltitle = {Nucl.~Phys.},
  date         = 1961,
  volume       = 22,
  pages        = {579-588},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[backend=biber,authordate]{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{biblio.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite{glashow}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

The result is:

@Daniel thanks a lot... but my machine has stuck there. its giving warning of empty bibliography and undefined citation. do i need to re install? – user42754 Dec 15 '13 at 14:41
seems biblatex is not identifying bib file – user42754 Dec 15 '13 at 14:46
Do you really have an updated system? Please use \listfilesinside the example above and show us the output of\listfiles` by editing your original question. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13304/which-package-version-am-i-using/13305#13305 – Marco Daniel Dec 15 '13 at 15:06
i do not understand what is the problem? – user42754 Dec 15 '13 at 16:14

@user42754: based on the information above it seems you are missing to run biber. – Marco Daniel Dec 15 '13 at 16:32
@user42754 You need to at least run latex, biber, latex, latex on the test document above. Does the biber run still warn about expecting a different version of the control file? – moewe Dec 15 '13 at 17:19
it also shows no file test.bbl – user42754 Dec 15 '13 at 21:48
views on some web pages are to delete par cache but i can not find the location of that either – user42754 Dec 15 '13 at 22:59
data source C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\par-5061756ccache-890efc00b3ca6b775c7d44a325c1349fb2a3a3bd\inc\lib/Biber/LaTeX/recode_data.xml not found in .but i could not find any folder named AppData in C\Users\username – user42754 Dec 15 '13 at 23:12
thanks all i have tried these solution its working on other machines which was'nt working before. – user42754 Dec 16 '13 at 01:48
@user42754: Your error is a known issue. Just removed the file pointing in the error message. – Marco Daniel Dec 16 '13 at 08:10
@ Daniel the problem is i could find that file in the specified path. – user42754 Dec 16 '13 at 12:12
@Daniel i removed that folder but i think error lies before that as in running latex it indicates no bcf. – user42754 Dec 17 '13 at 18:51
