I'm sure I can mug my way through writing this but it feels like the kind of thing for which there might be an example illustrating best practice. Can anyone point me at some documentation or examples that might help?
I can only think of a few Assistants (they are not called Wizards) in OS X:
1. Creating an iCal account. This one sticks out because it is so
unnecessary and buggy that it makes me want to shoot my monitor every
time it appears.
2. The Bluetooth mouse and keyboard detection ones.
3. The Certificate Signing Request generator in Keychain Access.app.
4. First-launch of Mail.app
Think long and hard before you decide you want to replicate these user
experiences. Particularly at the first launch.
