this is not a bug, and shouldn't be on the bug list. would best to
bring this to the pgsql-general email list.
at a minimum, after installing the new postgres software, you'd have to
STOP postgres, THEN restore your data directory, then restart postgres.
if it doesn't restart, then check the logfiles and/or event viewer to
see why.
if postgres was running when you made your data backup, odds are pretty
good that backup is no good, unless you used backup software that used
Windows Volume Snapshot Service (VSS).
