I personally prefer to keep my wordpress install in a sub directory so that a holding page or existing site can sit in the root folder. Then I make a couple of changes to the site address in the general settings and the index.php and .htaccess files when I want the site to go live, after i've removed the holding page or old site from the root folder first. Moving wordpress can be really tricky sometimes so I try not to disturb it too much : )
if you don't have anything else installed and live on the root folder then it shouldn't be a problem. To be on the safe side, always make a back up of your folders before you install. That way, if anything does go wrong, you can easily get back to where you were before the install.

1,210 PointsOkay. I finally got through that but i am faced with something else. I am creating a WordPress login information and i decided to save it on the root folder,but i got this warning -> Installing on the root folder of your domain will overwrite any existing installations. Are you sure want to do this? Should i continue?
