Could you try to write a minimal working example in a separate project and 
share the code if you still have any issues? Try to write that 
encryption/decryption routines yourself line by line instead of copy&paste 
any examples.

The idea is simple: you read data source, you put data through the filter 
(which does the encryption or decryption) and put the result to the sink. 
So you should setup a source: read file in buffer and use StringSource or 
VectorSource or use FileSource. Then you should prepare an encryption 
filter (StreamTransformationFilter) with appropriate options (you could 
learn it from example code). Then you put the data into the Sink.

Remember to use same key & iv for decryption. Also binary/text mode is 
important when reading files. Also remember to use same mode (CBC, ECB, 
etc.) for both encryption/decryption algorithm. Use authenticated 
encryption to catch message checksum errors.

Try to experiment with pipelining, e.g. calculating messag digest and 
printing it in hex. When you get the strong feeling what works and what 
isn't you could easily use any encryption/decryption algorithm in Cryptopp. 
Just take some time to read wiki and experiment with library primitives. 
And good luck with that!
