I think it can easily be done with tack strips glued to the wood
floor. Use the right glue and it will hold firmly and then can be
scraped off when the time come. The stuff used to glue down
parquette flooring to concrete would work. Anyone that has done that
knows that the glue gets all over the top of the flooring and has to
be removed slowly and carefully, but it can be done.
When the carpet guys lay the carpet tell them to go easy on the
pulling.
