Solution 1

the easiest way to do it "trough code" is by using SetACL.exe command tool[^]. It has countless number of command line options and allows to set the security permissions on files and folders. Trusted by system administrators as well (it is used in our company)

Solution 2

Does your MSSQLSERVER service account has proper privilege on the folder? Please check and give proper permission if does not exists. Then you will be able to do that, I hope.
