Thank you, looks like you were right. I ran it outside Visual Studio with
admin rights, but when I ran it in Visual Studio developer console (also
with admin rights) before (when I tried to solve it with degski), I
couldn't manage to make it work. Right now it looks like problem is solved,
but it is weird it needs administrator rights, as I can iterate
subdirectory on that specific drive (E:) without them. Weird. Thank you
both for your time. :)
