Described techniques enable inter-environment communication between a first runtime environment and a second runtime environment of an operating system. A function requested by an application executing in the first runtime environment may require execution by a second application running in a virtual machine in the second runtime environment. An address mode (AMODE) of the virtual machine may be determined from among at least two AMODEs. The second runtime environment may be launched from the first runtime environment, and the virtual machine may be launched within the second runtime environment, using the AMODE. The function may then be executed using the second application.
