Description:
------------
I have simple script with using COM object "Scripting.FileSystemObject" that usually used in JScript (VBscript).
It's work fine, but when I try to catch error (Folder doesn't exist) I can't get error message :(

-----------------------------
Sorry for my bad english :)

Test script:
---------------
<?
    try
    {
        $FS = new COM('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
        $fold = $FS->GetFolder('f:/bash');
        $folds = $fold->SubFolders();
        foreach($folds as $sf)
            echo $sf->name . '<br>';
    }
    catch(com_exception $e)
    {
        echo 'Error msg: ', $e->getMessage();
    }
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Error msg: Path not found

Actual result:
--------------
Error msg: Source: Unknown Description: Unknown

I can confirm the reported behavior (PHP-7.4).

The problem is that the calling IDispatch_Invoke()[1] does neither
populate the bstrSource nor the bstrDescription member of the
EXCEPINFO.  Still, the scode member holds 0x800A004C
(CTL_E_PATHNOTFOUND), which may be used to retrieve a more useful
error message.
