MSScriptControl Issue on Windows Server 2008

So I'm using the MSScriptControl to run some javascript in my app and I want to be able to get some information about any errors the script may cause.

MSScriptControl.ScriptControlClass script = new MSScriptControl.ScriptControlClass();
try
{
    script.Language = "JScript";
    script.Timeout = 15000;
    script.Eval(Code);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    MSScriptControl.Error err = script.Error;
    ret = new Exception("Error on line: " + err.Line + ", Description: " + err.Description);
}

The code works fine on my development machine, a Windows 7 box, and gives me a line number with an error. So I happily publish and push it to the production machine which always tells me the error occurred at line 0 and no description is provided.

I tried going to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=1949 to download the latest version but installing it had no effect. I also set the property Embed Interop Types to false as well as copying my own msscript.ocx file into the Windows 2008 server's system32 directory but neither of these attempts resolved anything.

Anyone have any recommendations?
