SAP GUI Configurations - Visual Design > Applications Not Appearing

[former_member971452]

Hello,

I'm encountering a problem in SAP GUI Configuration.

I am trying to add excel in SAP GUI Config. and I followed the steps below.

Go to SAP GUI Config. > Visual Design > Applications > Add EXCEL.EXE

The screenshot below (left) is the guide I'm following and (right) is the actual that I'm trying to input,

Expectation is, if I click the "add" button below, a file name should appear.

But the problem is that whenever I click the add button, nothing happens and no app is appearing.

Would like to seek for your help on this please. Hoping I would get an answer for this. Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

Bea C.

Hello Bea,

I'm faced with the same issue and I can't find any solution, unfortunately Stefan's solution does not apply.
Would you by chance have found a solution?

Thanks

Please don't post a question as an answer to another question.

I have converted your answer to a comment, but considering that this question is from more than a year ago, you might be better off asking a new question and perhaps linking to this question for reference.

Hello Bea,

I find it likely that this is the issue from SAP Note 2742618 "Dialog does not open".
After clicking "Add" a browse dialog is supposed to be opened. This did not work anymore after changes in Windows. You should try a current version of SAP GUI for Windows. Your screenshot seems to show SAP GUI for Windows 7.50 (which is out of support anyway).

Best regards,
Frank

Hello Bea,

welcome in the SAP Community.

It is possible to set the application page as read only. Check the following registry value [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\General\Applications] or [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\General\Applications] (on 32-Bit OS)
if the entry AppsSapGuiVisualTheme_ReadOnly exists.

Best regards
Stefan
