Wizard pattern and other GUI patterns for infrequent, complicated task

Question

We are thinking of using a Wizard pattern to help a user complete a task.

The Wizard pattern seems to solve our problem. We are also interested in what human factors research might have to say about the basic problem of a non-expert user needing to accomplish an infrequent and complicated task-–-are there other, possibly better paradigms for doing this than a wizard?

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about software usability patterns. — Jim G., Aug 10 '13 at 00:29

You posted this question over two years ago and no one has offered a better interaction design pattern than the wizard.

That looks like an answer to me.
