How does the Windows program know how long the decrypted data is?

It sounds to me like the problem is simply that your Windows code is decrypting 
the data correctly, then reading past it into garbage left at the end of the 
buffer.

If the messages are of fixed length, only use that many bytes from the 
decryption output. If they're of variable length, then the sender will have to 
tell the receiver how long they are. There are many ways of doing that; you 
haven't told us enough about your protocol to know which would be appropriate 
in your case.
