Installing zenOn Editor on specific Toshiba computers

Some customers have reported problems on Toshiba computers with installing the SQL Server 2005 (which is necessary for the zenOn Editor).
In the SQL Log File (which is created by the SQL Server Installation procedure - filename is like SQLSetup0006_AUTOTRONIC031_SQL.log) following error message can be found:
Error Code: 1067
MSI (s) (48!3C) [09:25:30:515]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition -- Error 29503. The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The error is (1067) The process terminated unexpectedly.
.

Error 29503. The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
The error is (1067) The process terminated unexpectedly.

The reason for this is most likely a missing key within th Windows registry.
So if the setup of the SQL Server 2005 has failed proceed has follow:
- uninstall all SQL relevant software (like Microsoft SQL Server 2005; Microsoft SQL Server Native Client; Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files; Microsoft SQL Server Server VSS Writer; ...)
- open regedit (Start|Run, type regedit)
- navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters"
- right-click parameters
- choose New -> String value
- type "Domain" as the name of the new value, and hit Enter
- execute the seperate installation of the SQL Server 2005
-> at the zenOn DVD -> Additional_Software\SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
-> execute the file Install.bat
- after the successful installation of the SQL Server 2005 instal the zenOn Editor
