MS Excel Application (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019) not visible in DCOM Config. OS is Windows 2022 Server 21H2

Question

I installed Mircrosoft Office Professional Plus 2019 on WIndows Server 2022, version 21H2. But MS Excel application isn't visible in the DCOM Config. I also followed the article below but CLLSID for Microsoft Excel was missing in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\APPID.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1433486/ms-excel-application-(office-2019-32bit)-not-visib?source=docs

If there is a APPID for Excel the procedure will be below but I can't find the APPID for Excel in APPPID.

1. Open the Registry Editor- go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\APPID
2. Search the CLLSID corresponding to Microsoft Excel
3. Make sure the registry entries for Excel are correct.

Sould I add APPID by myself to resolve this problem? I can't find any solutions.
