Answer 1

Workaround: assign user to application pool identity with extra privileges.

Solution (worked for me)

1. Manually set temp directory MagickNET.SetTempDirectory(@"C:\\Windows\\Temp\\");
2. Give user of Application Pool Identity write permissions to it. In my case I've provided for "Users" group write permission.
