iLogic Rule to delete all rules

There seems to be some really useful code for deleting all iLogic rules, but I can't get it to work smoothly.

It starts, deletes a few rules, then stops, gives and error saying either this:

Edit Rule

Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

Or this:

Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Inventor.PartFeatures'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{DA33F1A5-7C3F-11D3-B794-0060B0F159EF}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

It is doing it before the same rules each time, but I can't see why this is being treated differently at all.  Then if I press okay/continue, it jumps ahead and deletes itself.

Any ideas on the possible root cause of this perplexing situation?

I have used a tool called CodeInjector by Megajerk.  I have found it extremely useful for deleting iLogic rules and also injecting new iLogic rules and having them run automatically.  The best part is you can run it with a batch of files.

Yes Code Injector is great. I used it for a batch of almost 1200 .ipt files, and it worked without a hitch!!
