PAINKILLER BOOH install oddness

Ive had the original PAINKILLER since it came out....installed to a folder
"e:\games3\painkiller".....a while back I changed my Hard discs and all the
drv. letters got moved as they do ...I copied PAINKILLER to someother
location rather than bothering to re-install it....works lovely ....
NOW !....
Ive just got the "BATTLE OUT OF HELL" add-on ...installed it expecting to be
asked where the main game was at so it would go in along and over the
original.......no!!.. it BOOH installed to "e:\games3\painkiller".....which
no longer existed so it created it and put a fully working stand-alone
version of BOOH there ....my someplace-else org. PK folder untouched ....
My question;
Is this right ? two entirely separate games ?? ..I thought the add-on pack
might add new features / graphics to the org. ....dont want to go through
all the installing again ...might mess up org.s gamesaves ...should BOOH
just be copied straight over the main game folder....replacing any existing
files ????

Whatever ...looks like BOOT could be set up standalone even if u dont have
the orginal..

.............given the above ...now that I have nearly finised with the org.
PK.....can it be uninstalled while still leaving a working PK BOOH (which I
have barely started) ?????

In effect it seems BOOT is a same-old-thing-again sequel "PAINKILLER 2"
rather than a true "Ex-spand-tion pack" ??
