@christopheraj, this is not your fault. The MusicXML file you have attached contains an invalid character ("�") in its "rights" element, which causes the MusicXML importer to read incomplete data. MuseScore 3.6.2 unfortunately crashes when this happens while MuseScore 4.0.0 does not crash, but imports an almost empty file. With the current MusicXML importer implementation it is not possible to continue importing after this error.

The structural solution is report this to the vendor of the software used to produce this file the file. The other file attached to this issue simply has the offending character removed.

Note that on import you should have seen a popup by MuseScore, warning you that the file is not valid.
