Software manual
From a computer software manual:-
Die Programmeinstellungen werden in Form eines Assistenten vorgenommen. In jedem Dialog kann mit der F1-Taste eine kontextsensitive Hilfe aufgerufen werden.
I'm struggling to find the right term for the "Assistenten" - a term such as "Program assistant" or "Software assistant" conjures up for me pictures of the Microsoft Office Paperclip, and I'm sure that nothing like that is intended. As far as I know, the "Einstellungen" are simply set by ticking items in a sequence of dialogue boxes, so you simply follow the set sequence rather than calling on any specific "assistance"

in the form of a wizard
This is the common term used for a program that helps the user make settings, install a program, etc. May be capitalised, I would check with your client.

wizard / assistant
"wizard," if your client's application software is based on the Microsoft Style Guide. Certain principals, however, prefer the term "assistant." You should verify the terminology with your client.
