Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2
Microsoft Windows 7
Microsoft Windows 8
Microsoft Windows 2012
Microsoft Windows XP SP3: As Microsoft has dropped support for Windows XP, CA ERwin Data Modeler will no longer be tested for compatibility with that operating environment. Should you encounter any problem(s) using CA ERwin Data Modeler you should first verify that the problem(s) encountered are not related to an unsupported operating environment before reporting the problem(s) to CA.
Note: CA ERwin Data Modeler is a 32-bit application and is fully compatible with 64-bit operating systems, except for the following known issues:

- Running the CA ERwin API in a 64-bit environment requires some changes to the workstation registry. For more information about changing the registry, see the CA ERwin Data Modeler WE Implementation and Administration Guide.
