So I am in a situation where I have to develop an Installation [sic] wizard which has 6 to 7 steps depending on user input. For forms designed, I used Abeille and everything seems to be okay, however I am not sure whether my design is right, by which I mean efficient, extensible and this is where I am hoping somebody help me out.
Are you saying that there are six or seven screens of questions the user must answer to drive the installation process? That is not great user-interface design, especially if the screens interrupt the installation process ongoingly to ask their questions.
How about one screen up front where the user fills in everything needed for the installation, then nothing further until "Installation complete!" pops up? That way they can get a drink or make love while they're waiting for your installation, instead of wasting their time baby-sitting it.
