Can I get back uninstalled DB after Windows Restore?

I recently uninstalled PostGres database on my Windows 7 machine and deleted the database files in the folder. Is it possible to get back the data and the setup by restoring it to a pre-uninstallation restore point using Windows Restore. Please share your thoughts.

Actually I am facing this issue on my personal computer. The database file loss is not something I am worried about much as most of it were sample data. What I would be more interested to know is can a simple system restore bring back the Postgres installation setup (say with a empty DB) back. I have seen when I do a system restore, all the installations done after the restore point is removed. So, would be interested to know if the same holds good the other way i.e. all uninstalled programs after the restore point will be installed back.
