A method for supporting a download of an application from a server to a wireless device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) downloading the application and an associated reference from the server, (b) determining, prior to execution of the application, and based upon the associated reference, whether execution of the application requires a virtual machine to be loaded on the wireless device, (c) if the determining step determines that the virtual machine is required for execution of the application, performing the a second step of determining whether the virtual machine is loaded on the wireless device. If the second determining step determines that the virtual machine is not loaded on the wireless device, a second download request is sent to the server for the virtual machine and the virtual machine is downloaded, thereby making it available to the application. The steps of first determining, second determining, sending a second download request, and making the virtual machine available, are performed automatically on the wireless device without interaction with a user of the wireless device.
