For case 1, I would think that this article - from right here at the Code Project - could be of assistance:

Add Prerequisites of .NET Framework in Visual Studio Setup Project[^]

If I understand case 3 correctly, then one of these articles should be able to help you with that:

C# Single Instance App With the Ability To Restore From System Tray (Using Mutex)[^]
Single instance app in C#[^]
Single Instance Application in C#[^]

As for case 2, I'm afraid I don't know... Good luck with that!
