Hey @SahilArora3139, the error here is from your Render tool, rather than email.

 

You're not able to save/render files to the Program files\Alteryx\bin directory, see here I get the same issue:

Whereas if I save it to somewhere else where I do have output permissions, it works fine:

@DataNath i tried that too, then it is showing error woth email tool and there is no configuration in email tool to rectify this path.

i have correct the path in render tool. 

 

pfa.

@SahilArora3139 because you can't write out to that location, the Email tool is unable to find the file, as the error message states. If you switch your Render to a location that you have permissions to write to, then you can also switch where your Email attachment is pointing to, to the same place like so:
