Did you pick the filter wheel from the equipment list and connect before you tried to change the profile? I don't know about ATIk, but my QHY wheel has to be connected first before any changes to the filter definitions. You will need to make sure you have an ASCOM driver for that filter wheel. I would suspect you don't need a native filter wheel runner app, rather SGP runs it via the wheel ASCOM driver. ASCOM platform is not the wheel driver.
The ATIK website says: On the sofware side, the EFW2 has an ASCOM compliant driver, so that any compliant software can control it.
SGP is compliant software, hence you do not need the filter wheel runner app. By starting that you are blocking SGP from controlling it - would be my guess. Try it without starting the ATIK filter wheel app but make sure you have the ASCOM driver loaded for the filter wheel.
