Methods and an apparatus for downloading an application over a distributed network are provided. One exemplary method includes a computer implemented method executed by a general purpose computer, where the computer implemented method is capable of downloading an executable program from a networked storage to the general purpose computer. The method initiates with downloading a core module where the core module includes classes necessary to run an engine of the executable program. Then, the core module is installed which in turn module provides instant user functionality. The installed core module includes code for, requesting a class not associated with the core module, searching non-core modules of the executable program for the requested class, and downloading to the general purpose computer a non-core module containing the requested class while the executable program provides the user functionality.
