After installing both Ys I and II Complete and installing the translation patch, I found that the videos were not working even though the patcher said that it would register the codec itself.
Upon searching for Indeo on Vista, I found this thread on the MSDN forums (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=907915&SiteID=1) which suggested that running "regsvr32 ir50_32.dll" would allow the codec to work. Sure enough, it did.
So if anyone's run into issues with videos on Windows Vista, that should help. Perhaps detection for that could be added if there is another version of the patch?

Thanks for helping those in the future that when they buy a new PC it will come with Windows Vista.

Hm, well, that's what the patcher does, albeit through NSIS' (the patch creation software) system for self registering. It'll probably be something that needs to be fixed with the next NSIS update which might've already happened. Anyway, I'll keep this in mind with the next Ys II patch update I'm planning on releasing. If anything, it woudn't be too much trouble to run a system command and execute "regsvr32 ir50_32.dll" as backup.

In that case I'm not sure exactly why it happened. After installing the patches, the Explorer thread responsible for thumbnailing images and videos was throwing up COM service errors any time it attempted to index one of the videos included with the games, so something didn't register quite right. I didn't do enough investigation into what was registered and what was not at the time to be able to speculate on what might have gone wrong, though.
I don't believe it was User Account Control causing issues, however, as Vista correctly detected NSIS and forced it to run as a full Administrator.
