Indeed MuseScore only supports .ove (and even that only in an experimental state) and not .ovex.
That file being named .xml doesn't automagically turn it into valid MusicXML

What should I do? I don't know how the XML extracted by Ovex can be converted into musicxml，help

If Overture can't export as MusixcXML, or any other format that MuseScore can import, you can't do anything about it, except starting to write the code for .ovex import for MuseScore

Hello, sir. Can this XML file be converted to musicxml？

Not without someone writing the code for it, or without Overture doing it.

That is a link to the issue requesting MuseScore to support .ovex import. No work has been done on it yet (and realistically none would be done any time soon)

Mm-hmm. OK. Thank you

@liulucode :
I saw that you contacted me via the contact form.
As Jojo-Schmitz already told you, a ovex file is a proprietary format of Overture 5 that can be opened only by Overture 5 (at least at the moment). Such a file is an xml file which follows a set of rules and specifications that we do not know (since it is a proprietary format of the company which develops Overture ). MuseScore cannot open such an xml files because it does not know the set of rules it follows; only a (probably long) work of reverse engineering and coding could enable the import of these ovex files. And at the moment none of MuseScore developers is volunteering for doing such a task.
If you have coding skills and you want to step in to do that job, the MuseScore developer community would gladly help you find your way around the code and the particular part involved in ove file import :-)
What you can currently do to convert this file, if you do not own an Overture 5 license, is to download a demo of this program (from here: https://sonicscores.com/downloads/ ), open the original ovex file and then export a MusicXml file via the "Export" command in the "File" menu. The demo will run only for 30 days.
Here is the result for your file (which I retrieved from here https://sonicscores.com//forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=22027&p=69769&hilit… ) exorted by using an Overture 5 demo.
Ciao,
