Will this mod run in Windows 7 64 bit on newer hardware?

Yes, it is targeted towards XP/7, 64/32 doesn't matter in this case because of the OS being fully backward compatible with 32-Bit applications. It should run fine without the problems people usually experience with D2 on Win7, mostly caused by the ancient DX7 exclusive mode code the game is using (and tons of deprecated API, see stuff like D2's ram evaluation rolling over for RAM >2 GB).

We can only test on these two versions of Windows though, and perhaps Vista, whenever it'll still be compatible with the original target OS versions I can't say, beside windows we know it runs in WINE out of the box.
