Installing fresh Diablo 1 client, extracting Release1045.zip into install folder, running Belzebub.exe and it only unpacks me file log.txt with line at the end APP: SDL setting inital video mode failed. Client remains to look like d1 classic.
What am I doing wrong here?

I guess your video card doesn't support openGL which this mod uses.

FYI.
I dont know your system and reason you got issue on installation/run.
but working on my system below at least.

<PC1>
System : Windows 7
CPU : intel i5 2430m (Sandybridge)
GPU : Intel HD Graphics 3000 (w/o Discrete GPU)
Install directory : /Program Files (x86)/Diablo HD/ *changed from "C/diablo"(default setting)
Compatibility on running (property of exe) : checking "Disable Visual Themes","Disable desktop composition","Run As Administrator"

<PC2>
System : Windows 7
CPU : intel i5 4210m (Haswell Reflesh)
GPU : Intel HD Graphics 4600 (w/o Discrete GPU)
Install directory : /Program Files (x86)/Diablo HD/ *changed from "C/diablo"(default setting)
Compatibility on running (property of exe) : checking "Disable Visual Themes","Disable desktop composition","Run As Administrator"

I guess "Try to use other computer."Noktis (Site admin) said means not enough (match) requirement.
(It might be due to that GPU's Open GL isnt match, maybe)
try changing directory and check compatibilities if your hardware is enough to run.

i dont know how to if it still doesnt fix, sorry.

You install it wrong.

1. Unpack release 1045. (where you want to new folder)
2. copy diablo.mpq from you Diablo CD to release1045/dat/game_data. (in release 1045)
3. Play.
