Per the puppet language docs, a double backslash in a single quoted string
is supposed to be a literal backslash[1]. But puppet actually interprets
that as a double backslash due to a long standing bug[2]. You'll want to
use single backslashes, or switch to double quotes.
install_options => ['/S', '/D=C:\<myfolder>\check_mk'],

I was going to point you to our windows package documentation[3], but I see
that it too needs updating. If you want to specify key/value pairs, then
you will want to do:
['/S', { '/D' => 'C:\<myfolder\check_mk' }]
Note puppet will automatically quote the path if it contains spaces.
