I am facing a rather strange issue when running bibtex using MikTeX 2.9 and TeXMakeR 4.5 under windows 7.

At first I run pdflatex and then bibtex (as configured in TeXMakeR "C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/x64/biber.exe" %). When invoking bibtex I get the following error

 INFO - This is Biber 2.7 INFO - Logfile is 'test.blg'

ERROR - Cannot find control file 'test.bcf'! - did you pass the
 "backend=biber" option to BibLaTeX? INFO - ERRORS: 1


Process exited with error(s)

I've searched through various questions in tex.se but I couldn't find a solution that could fix my problem. A MWE can be found below along with a sample bib file.

\documentclass[aps,prc,reprint,superscriptaddress,floatfix,showpacs]{revtex4-1}

\usepackage{blindtext}
%\usepackage[natbib,hyperref,sorting=none]{biblatex}
%\RequirePackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
%\RequirePackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}

\begin{document}

\title{Title}

\author{First Author}

\author{Second Author} 
\affiliation{Department of \LaTeX, National University}

\end{document}

Bibliography.bib

@TechReport{JRCreport,

The current configuration of TeXMakeR can be seen here

I also tried to add the packages

  1. \usepackage[natbib,hyperref,sorting=none]{biblatex}
  2. \RequirePackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
  3. \RequirePackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}
  4. \usepackage[style=phys]{biblatex}

one at a time but I got the following errors when running pdflatex, respectively

  1. ! LaTeX Error: Command \bibhang already defined
  2. ! LaTeX Error: Command \bibhang already defined
  3. ! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package natbib.
  4. ! LaTeX Error: Command \bibhang already defined.

Any idea on what might wrong and how to solve it?
