Another option is to look at Prism. We're using that. Shell downloads and
then modules download as required or when available (after the initial shell
has downloaded). It comes with some other stuff such as publish/subscribe to
enable communication between parts of the app.

Its more a pattern than a framework but provides an implementation. (also
uses Unity).

It would require a fair bit of work to implement (from memory I spent three
days or so, but as I was already following a lot of the pattern it was
fairly easy to replace my code with theirs).

You can also download dll's in the background and load them dynamically
(which is what I was doing before switching to Prism)

good luck,
Stephen
