I do think you could hide your wizard using the Activities Framework. The org.eclipse.ui.activities extension point allows you to define a set of UI contributions that can be collectively shown or hidden. An extension can also be created for a single UI contribution, like your wizard.

You simply define an activity element using the extension, giving it an id and a name. You can also attach an enabledWhen element to the activity, allowing you to control its visibility using any core expression, including the test element which allows you to incorporate a property tester.

<activity
    id="your.plugin.id.activities.controlwizardvisiblity"
    name="Control My Wizard Visibility">
    <enabledWhen>
        <test
              property="your.property.tester.info">
        </test>
     </enabledWhen>
</activity>

Once your activity is defined, you can attach UI contributions to it using an activityPatternBinding element. The binding references the activity id created above and then specifies a pattern attribute in the format of:

your.plugin.id/your.contribution.id

The pattern can be a regular expression matching many UI contributions, or if you set the isEqualityPattern="false" the pattern can directly specify a single plugin id/contribution id combination. In your case, that's probably what you want to do, and it would look something like this.

<activityPatternBinding
    activityId="your.plugin.id.activities.controlwizardvisiblity"
    isEqualityPattern="false"
    pattern="your.plugin.id/your.wizard.id">
</activityPatternBinding>
