I am trying to install 2 stores: on in one domain (my site.com) and the other on a sub domain (vip.mysite.com).
The problem I'm having is that when i install the second one, it overrides the first one. how can i avoid this? if they are on different folders, why is it overriding it?

How are you installing it? If you don't know how to do it, we can guide you if you want. Else you can consider paying someone to do the installation for you.

You need to make 2 seperate installations.

For your sub domain site, you need to install it in your "vip" directory.

Thats what i did, i installed the first on on the vip directory, and after adding half of of the products and having half of the store done, i installed the second one on the main directory and it overrided the vip directory, i lost all that work, so ho can i avoid this?

Don't install over your same database.

so how do i install it?

One is in one folder and the other one under another, what am i doing wrong?

Nothing wrong. Just install in a separate database or add a prefix.
