Where comes libraries.csv from?

[robert_kratschmann]

Hi,

when I double click a Crystal Report File (*.rpt), beside the dev_rfc.log also a libraries.csv-file is created.
I think it contains all DLLs used when the Report is shown. Here is a short excerpt from the file:
'C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\crlang.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eUntrust'
'C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\dwmapi.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eTrust'
'C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\cxlib-5-0.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eUntrust'
'C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\crlogger.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eUntrust'
'C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_5.82.22621.3527_none_b43b7f4b638cc64f\comctl32.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eTrust'
'C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\crwdnr.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eUntrust'
'C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\crw64_res_de.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eUntrust'
'C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\kernel.appcore.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eTrust'
'C:\Windows\System32\bcryptPrimitives.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eTrust'
'C:\Windows\System32\MSCTF.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eTrust'
'C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\TextShaping.dll';'shared_library_utils::library::signature::eTrust'
The file ist typically 60K long. Is there a way to suppress the file creation?
Thanks
Robert

What version of Crystal Reports designer are you using?

Are you double clicking from Explorer or some other interface?

Those log files are not something CR creates, it looks like it may be an anti-virus software log or something like that.

Or if you are using a third party application that has RPT files linked to it it could be that generating the files.

In file Explorer Right on any RPT file and select Open with.. and chose Crystal Reports or crw32.exe or if you are using CR 2020 then crw64.exe, which will be in this folder:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\"

You could check with your IT department to see if they have some logging enabled or if they recognise the files.

I'm clicking from Windows Explorer or Total Commander (a file manager), and the issue appears in both cases. I'm using Crystal Reports 2020 SP03 PL06. On the machines where this occurs, only Windows Defender is installed. The executable I'm using is: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\crw64.exe. Currently, no file logging is enabled. The Libraries.csv file appears only in conjunction with Crystal Reports, and not with other file types like *.docx or *.pdf.
