You need to recreate the database to reload the data into so

    from the windows command line:
    C:\PostgresDB\bin\createdb.exe -U postgres <your db name>;

That assumes Postgres is running, which at this point seems not to be the case or at least is unproven.

    Then to restore the data from the sql backup
    C:\PostgresDB\bin\pg_restore.exe -U postgres <the sql backup file>

This will not work if the *.sql is a plain text file.
