Just had a thought (bear with me, it's the end of a night shift...)

 

This card can be read 2 ways - either you look at the top 5 and, if any are agendas, upgrades or assets you can install 1 of them (agenda, upgrade or asset)

 

or

 

look at the top 5 and if any of them are agendas, upgrades or assets you can install 1 OF THE 5 (which would add a revealed ICE to the available options).

ICE cannot be installed in a remote server. Or any server.

Ah good point. 

but some cards let you advance cards that can not normally be advanced.....so why can not install an ice that can not normal be install in server.. only a few ice would matter then ones thats have that new when accessed ability ...

The intent of this card is clearly meant to be that only an agenda, asset, or upgrade may be installed. The wording "if any of those cards are agendas, assets, or upgrades you may install 1 of those cards in a remote server." means that only cards which meat the requirement (agenda, asset, upgrade) are valid choices for the install effect.

As per Advancement Tokens vs. Ice in a server, there is no effect which lets you Advance a card which cannot be Advanced, only effect which put advancement tokens on cards regardless of whether they can be Advanced. There is a subtle but important difference here because Advancing cards is an action which is restricted by the game rules.

Likewise, ICE is restricted by the rules to being installed in front of a server, not in it. Theoretically, a card could allow you to install a piece of ICE in a server (perhaps an Ambush/ICE hybrid) but such a card would clearly state that possibility in its text since it is a violation of the normal rules.

ICE cant still be installed in a remote server and the accessed ability is relevant only when accessed from R&D or HQ.

 

To put it simply, if a card itself says it can do things normally not possible (like advancing cards normally impossible), it overrules the rulebook. But there is no ICE (or any other card for that matter) that says ICE can be installed in a server, so no ICE can be installed in a server.

Actually, the card Awakening Center lets you install Ice in a server (hosted on Awakening Center, itself installed in a server as an upgrade).

I stand corrected.
