solving a linear matrix equation where the variable appears in a diagonal matrix
$begingroup$
For constant $m times 1$ vectors $c$ and $d$, constant $m times n$ matrix $Z$, and variable $n times 1$ vector $x$, I want to solve the following for $x$:
$$left[left(d^{T}diag(Zx)-c^{T}right)Zright]^{T}=0$$
I have searched for answers to similar questions on this site, and I am guessing that the answer may involve vectorization and the Kronecker product, but I think that the diagonalization operator is causing me trouble.

I figured it out myself.
Form an $m times n$ matrix $P$, each column $j$ of which is equal to $-diag(Z^{<j>}d)$, where $Z^{<j>}$ denotes the $j$th column of $Z$. The solution is then given by $-(P^{T}Z)^{-1}Z^{T}c$.
