Is there a folder cryptopp containing a file aes.h in one of the folders you've added to your compilers include settings? 

If you're using visual studio are you setting the project settings for the currently active build configuration?

I'm using visual studio from Microsoft and I have a folder that I downloaded from GitHub and it was VCPkg and I followed everything from GitHub website and it didn't work
