Update:
One of our customers here at Ideate ran into the MSScript.ocx error recently and was able to find a forum post with a reported solution to try before reformatting. Check it out here:

Thanks to Justin Zampardi from Mead & Hunt for providing us with the info!
Recently, while teaching a class for one of our customers I noticed that my Pipe Network commands in Civil 3D were not working (both 2012 and 2013). When I attempted to create a Pipe Network both from an object and using the Network Layout Tools, I received the same repetitive error at the command line.
The error said:
ERROR: Calculation Failed with Part Table AeccCircularConcretePipe_Imperial There is a problem with the Script Control (msscript.ocx). This problem may be corrected by reinstalling Internet Explorer or by reregistering the control.
After doing some research on the issue and contacting Autodesk, I was informed that the issue was Microsoft related, and could possibly be fixed through this process:
First, install the script control from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184739
Also, the version of Internet Explorer (IE) 7, IE8, and IE9 may be preventing it from operating, so try to uninstall it and reinstall it.
Once that is complete, do the following:
After reformatting and reinstalling everything, I can gladly report that Civil 3D is back up and running with the issue resolved.
I hope you’ll never run into this error, but if you do, those are your options.
