Default How to Install Engineered wood on Gyp-Crete floor underlayme

I own a condo in California on the second floor. I’m looking to replace my carpeting with engineered wood flooring. I pulled up the carpet edge to see what type of subflooring I have and the subfloor seems to be a brittle dirty white stuff like concrete, but not nearly so solid. I found out that the contractor used Gyp-Crete

http://www.maxxon.com/gyp-crete/data as floor underlayment to muffle the sound.

I want to do a nail down application of the engineered wood and am wondering if this is possible or do I have to go with glue down.

Thanks for the help!!!
